In this article, we provide an overview of how this technology works and discuss the evidence for its clinical effectiveness in tuberculosis, hepatitis C virus infection, mental health and cardiovascular disease. We consider the acceptability of WOT to patients as well as potential issues relating to patient autonomy and data protection. We highlight the current limited data on its economic impact and reflect on its future role in patient care. ER -
