Comparing medication adherence using a smartphone application and electronic monitoring among patients with acute coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of agreement between adherence measures obtained using two technological interventions, electronic monitoring (EM) and a smartphone application (App).

Background

Clinicians, patients, and researchers depend on valid measurements of medication adherence to inform the delivery of preemptive care when needed. Technology is routinely used for monitoring medication adherence in both clinical practice and research, yet there is a dearth of research comparing novel App based approaches to traditional approaches used for assessing medication adherence.

Methods

Adherence rates were captured on both the EM and the App for 3697 daily observations from 44 participants with acute coronary syndrome over 90 days immediately f
