Failure to adhere to the treatment regimen is the key reason for the disease\u2019s continuing burden worldwide. Numerous efforts have been made to address non-adherence to treatment, including the use of digital adherence technologies. However, recent studies on such technologies show conflicting findings about their effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Eligibility criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review will consider studies reporting on patients and health care workers and the use of digital tools for tuberculosis treatment adherence.
