Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a growing global health challenge, and this study evaluated the effectiveness of the NPS MedicineWise dose reminder app, used in conjunction with pharmacist-led interventions, to improve medication adherence among HF patients.
- 55 patients with HF participated in a randomized controlled trial, receiving either the app intervention or standard care, with assessments of medication self-efficacy and other health metrics measured before and after six months.
- Results showed that nearly half of the app users reported better management of their medications, with significant improvements in self-efficacy observed, indicating that the app could be a valuable tool for enhancing medication adherence in HF management.
