EFElodie FoumbaJMJacques MbargaCNChantal Nguiffo

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health platforms in enhancing compliance and reducing malaria transmission in Cameroon.
  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data on malaria case reports and qualitative interviews.
  • Analyzed patient engagement and adherence to treatment protocols related to digital health platforms.
  • Assessed compliance rates and transmission outcomes following digital intervention implementation.
  • Patient compliance rates averaged 82% for using digital health platforms for medication reminders.
  • Malaria cases reduced by 15% within six months post-implementation of digital health platforms.
  • Engagement with digital health platforms significantly improved patient interaction and adherence.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Cameroon, necessitating innovative approaches to control transmission. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data on malaria case reports with qualitative interviews to gauge patient engagement and adherence to treatment protocols. Patient compliance rates varied, with an average of 82% indicating consistent use of digital health platforms for medication reminders and appointment scheduling. Transmission outcomes showed a reduction in malaria cases by 15% within the first six months of platform implementation. Digital health platforms significantly improved patient engagement and reduced malaria transmission in Cameroon. Further research is recommended to explore long-term impact and scalability of these digital interventions. Malaria, Digital Health Platforms, Patient Compliance, Disease Transmission Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
