A Mobile App (mHeart) to Detect Medication Nonadherence in the Heart Transplant Population: Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medication nonadherence in heart transplant recipients (HTxR) is related to graft loss and death. mHeart is a mobile app that uses electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) to identify and manage medication nonadherence in the outpatient heart transplant (HTx) population.

Objective

The study primarily aimed to validate mHeart to measure medication nonadherence in early stage HTxR by assessing the psychometric properties of ePROMs. The secondary aims were to (1) measure patient satisfaction with the mHeart tool and its usability and (2) explore the impact of a theory-based treatment on medication nonadherence rates to determine its scalability to larger research.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted in the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hos
