ABSTRACT

India is among the top countries with the high prevalence of TB cases. The incidence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extremely drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are increasing in the countries like India and as a result, there is a need to adopt and develop novel solutions. In India the prescription hand-off process is quite complex and time consuming on the part of physicians, patients and pharmacists because of illegible handwriting or unclear abbreviations in prescription which sometimes leads to delay or dispensation of wrong medicines. To tackle this problem, 1mg in collaboration with the government of Andhra Pradesh took initiative to develop APeRx mobile applications and mandate the usage of these mobile apps to prescribe and dispense the TB medicines. The application helps streamline the prescribing process by allowing only the registered pharmacies to dispatch the medicines as prescribed by the doctor through APeRx mobile application. This case study shows that how this tool is contributing towards having controlled dispatch of medicines and real time data available on patients and their usage patterns of medicines.

Keywords: Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB), Extremely Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (XDR-TB), e-Prescription.
