Robust Evaluation to Measure Improvements in Nonadherence From Low-cost Devices
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Breast Cancer, Depression, Mental Health Disorder, Prostatic Hypertrophy, Benign, Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy
In brief
The aim of this study is to determine whether adherence to oral maintenance medications differs for patients randomized to receive a RxTimerCap, a Take-N-Slide, a standard pillbox, or none of these devices, with the hypothesis that low-touch devices improve adherence over control and that the increase in adherence is agnostic across devices.
