Impact of Platform Design and Usability on Adherence and Retention: Randomized Web- and Mobile-Based Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low retention and adherence increase clinical trial costs and timelines. Burdens associated with participating in a clinical trial contribute to early study termination. Electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tools reduce participant burden by allowing remote participation, and facilitate communication between researchers and participants. The Datacubed Health (DCH) mobile app is unique among ePRO platforms in its application of behavioral science principles (reward, motivation, identity, etc) in clinical trials to promote engagement, adherence, and retention.

Objective

We evaluated the impact of platform design and usability on adherence and retention with a longitudinal study involving repeated patient-facing study instruments. We expected participants assig
