Music for Health Project
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Human Immunodeficiency Virus
In brief
The overall goal of this project is to use technology to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART)and increase access to ART adherence care for those HIV+ persons living in rural areas. The LIVE Network audio music program mobile application (app) is innovative, practical, portable, and could be rapidly scaled up to address the adherence self-management needs of rural groups nationwide. If successful, the impact on HIV care will be immense and could transform the delivery of HIV self-management and adherence education by overcoming barriers of geographic isolation, transportation, stigma and confidentiality in this vulnerable group.
