ADVERSE EVENTS
In the intervention (app) arm, each week CHV recorded the symptoms, severity, and frequency of adverse events that occurred during treatment. These were reported to the study physician for guidance on clinical management, e.g. in determining whether to stop treatment. The app allowed CHV to monitor the clinical characteristics and evolution of the lesions, and to take and transmit photographs. In the control groups, the patient recorded any adverse events on a printed checklist that was delivered to the health personnel of the clinical facility.
