N.B.: The flagship study in my doctoral thesis, this project sought to explore the contextual challenges of long-term follow-up, from the perspectives of LMIC neurotrauma physicians, amongst the potential role for follow-up technologies (FUTs) in improving service provision and access. I am contiually grateful to my funders in enabling me to share this work as an Open Access piece within PLOS ONE.
