Medication adherence rates among the HF population vary widely in the literature, with a reported range of 10-98%. Technologies have been developed to improve adherence to therapies and other clinical outcomes.

Aims

This systematic review aims to investigate the effect of different technologies on medication adherence in patients with heart failure. It also aims to determine their impact on other clinical outcomes and examine the potential of these technologies in clinical practice.

Methods
