A mobile-phone-based automated medication reminder system may improve medication adherence and blood pressure control in high-risk urban patients with hypertension.
Patel et al. (2013) studied Hypertension (n=50). Medication reminder software on a mobile phone vs. Pre-activation phase (baseline) was evaluated on Medication adherence assessed by review of pharmacy refill rates (proportion of days covered) (p=0.057). A mobile-phone-based automated medication reminder system increased the proportion of days covered from 0.54 at baseline to 0.58 during activation (p=0.057) and improved self-reported adherence.
