Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard Care
The control group will not use the medication adherence app
No interventions assigned to this group
Medication Adherence Smartphone App
The experimental group will receive the medication adherence app on their smartphone and will have their entire outpatient medication list pushed to the application. Text message reminders will be sent to their phones at the appropriate times.
Medication Adherence Smartphone App
MyMedSchedule is a consumer-grade smartphone application currently available on various marketplaces of the Android and iOS platforms that acts as a portal to the free service MyMedSchedule.com website. It can interface with the MedActionPlan discharge planning tool for providers by automatically populating fields, allowing medication lists to be pushed to a subject's MyMedSchedule account, allowing the input of complex medication regimens, and aiding in medication reconciliation. A MyMedSchedule account can be setup with the patient's name, date of birth, allergies, emergency contact, healthcare providers, insurance plan information, and complete medication list. Medication dose and refill reminders can be set and sent through short message service (SMS) text message or e-mail. SMS text message reminders will be used for this study.
