May support app-assisted adherence in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
Kang et al. (2016) studied Hypertension (n=38). Hypertension management app (HMA) vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Medication adherence measured by the Modified Morisky Scale (MMS) (p=0.001). The use of a clinical practice guideline-based mobile app for hypertension management significantly improved mean medication adherence scores from 4.2 to 5.2 (P=0.001) over 4 weeks.
