Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a dengue self-monitoring system with standard care in reducing treatment delay among dengue patients receiving outpatient care. The main question it aims to answer are:

• Is a dengue self-monitoring system effective in reducing treatment delay in dengue patients? Participants will use the dengue monitoring system in addition to the standard care they are receiving for outpatient follow up for dengue.

Researchers will compare them with dengue patients receiving the usual standard care to see if the dengue monitoring system reduces delay in treatment seeking in patients.

Conditions

  • Dengue

Interventions

OTHER

Dengue self-monitoring system

The system has a symptom monitoring algorithm whereby patient would be asked to report their symptoms thrice daily (9am, 2pm and 8pm). The algorithm is developed by the researchers which consist of primary care doctors, emergency physician and infectious disease specialists. If the patient reports warning symptoms (persistent vomiting, persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bleeding, difficulty breathing, feel like fainting, difficulty carrying out usual activities, drowsiness, reduced urine output and reduced urine output), the system will advise patients to seek earlier medical care instead of waiting for the scheduled appointment the next day/other days.
