Why the study?

Patients with cardiovascular disease rely on medication for long-term clinical outcomes, but poor adherence increases mortality by 50%-80% and raises health care costs.

Do mobile health care apps improve medication adherence in patients with coronary artery diseases?

Population

10 included studies evaluating patients with cardiovascular diseases

Comparison

Mobile health care apps vs comparator not specified

Design

Scoping review
