- Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic disease that requires complex daily treatments, leading to low adherence among patients, which affects their health and costs.
- The study evaluates the ReX platform, a patient engagement tool that helps manage CF treatments, providing reminders and adherence data, aimed at improving adherence to high-cost CF medications known as CFTR modulators.
- Results showed high adherence rates (97.5% in the first year) and improved lung function among patients using ReX, with positive feedback on the platform's usability and no reported adverse effects.
