Selection of Behavior Change Techniques for Asthma Medication Adherence Apps: Evidence-Based Design Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor medication adherence is a widespread issue that causes adverse patient outcomes and is expensive for all aspects of the health care system. Developing cost-effective and scalable interventions to promote medication adherence is a key goal. Mobile apps hold promise as a mode of delivery for adherence interventions, but app design rarely takes into account the behavioral influences on nonadherence with sufficient rigor. As a result, apps may not realize their full potential in enhancing adherence. Medication nonadherence is common among adults prescribed preventer inhalers for asthma and has a variety of influences, creating a need to identify what components behavior change technique (BCT) apps should include to effectively tackle each influence.
