Years of repeated infections can cause in-turning of the lashes so that they rub against the eyeball, causing pain, discomfort and, if left untreated, blindness. This is known as trachomatous trichiasis (TT) and can be remedied by surgery. To improve oversight and reporting of TT outreach, Sightsavers developed a mobile phone application called the TT Tracker so that TT surgeons, assistants and supervisors can collect and analyse information about surgical outcomes and performance and determine when and where follow-up appointments are required. The TT Tracker is being used by seven national programmes. Examples of use and programme improvements from Nigeria, Benin and Senegal are discussed here.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/inthealth\/ihad057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T18:32:03Z","timestamp":1701714723000},"page":"ii73-ii76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Improving data use in trachomatous trichiasis programmes: operationalisation of the TT Tracker"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7110-550X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Bartlett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sightsavers , 35 Perrymount Road, Haywards Heath , West Sussex, RH16 3BW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Babacar","family":"Ngom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sightsavers , VDN Mermoz Pyrotechnique, N\u00b018, Dakar , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Olobio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Ministry of Health , Federal Secretariat Complex phase 3, FCT, Abuja, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mouctar Dieng","family":"Badiane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et de l'Action sociale , Rue Aim\u00e9 C\u00e9saire, Fann R\u00e9sidence - BP 4024, Dakar , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Godwin","family":"Tarboh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sightsavers , No 1 Golf Course Road, Kaduna , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aliou","family":"Diagne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sightsavers , VDN Mermoz Pyrotechnique, N\u00b018, Dakar , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Nwosu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sightsavers , 24 Tennesse Crescent, Maitama, FCT, Abuja, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]},"reference":[{"author":"World Health Organization","key":"2023120418315391000_bib1","article-title":"Inform"},{"author":"Sightsavers","key":"2023120418315391000_bib2","article-title":"The Accelerate Programme"},{"author":"Kimberly","key":"2023120418315391000_bib3","article-title":"TT Tracker app aims to improve surgical outcomes and patient care"},{"key":"2023120418315391000_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"i64","DOI":"10.1093\/inthealth\/ihab079","article-title":"The future of data management for pediatric cataract","volume":"14","author":"Sarah","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int Health."}],"container-title":["International Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/inthealth\/article-pdf\/15\/Supplement_2\/ii73\/53979144\/ihad057.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/inthealth\/article-pdf\/15\/Supplement_2\/ii73\/53979144\/ihad057.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T18:32:06Z","timestamp":1701714726000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/inthealth\/article\/15\/Supplement_2\/ii73\/7458339"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,12]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Supplement_2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/inthealth\/ihad057","relation":{},"ISSN":["1876-3413","1876-3405"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1876-3413"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1876-3405"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2023,12]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,12]]}}}
