简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a dengue self-monitoring system with standard care in reducing treatment delay among dengue patients receiving outpatient care. The main question it aims to answer are:
• Is a dengue self-monitoring system effective in reducing treatment delay in dengue patients? Participants will use the dengue monitoring system in addition to the standard care they are receiving for outpatient follow up for dengue.
Researchers will compare them with dengue patients receiving the usual standard care to see if the dengue monitoring system reduces delay in treatment seeking in patients.
详细描述
Dengue Self-Monitoring System (DeSMoS) was developed to guide patients about warning signs and advise them to visit a doctor appropriately before their scheduled follow up on the next day, apart from motivating them to comply to the daily follow up visits at the clinic. DeSMoS is hypothesised to effectively reduce delay in treatment seeking in dengue patients.
The main aim of this system is to get dengue patients to key-in their symptoms regularly via the app when they are at home. Reminders will appear on the phone to remind them to key in the symptoms thrice daily.
The system is designed as a supportive tool for outpatient dengue management. It is not meant to replace to usual standard care for dengue care.
