Measure
Control - no Reminder
For Group 1, there will be no changes to their instructions or smart phone, which is the most common clinical situation.
Integrated Daily Reminder Using the D3 App
For Group 2, they will have their D3 app turned on to deliver both a push notification reminder to their smart phone and audio and visual reminders to their D3 device. Devers Drop Device (D3) app: A universal eye drop cap monitor that accurately measures and improves eye drop-taking behavior.
Baseline Adherence Test
During the initial testing to determine baseline adherence to the subject's glaucoma medication. If the subject's did not take their medication at least 90% of the time, they qualified to be randomized into the other 2 groups/arms

Baseline Adherence
n=45 Participants
Before randomizing subjects, all were given the device to observe if their adherence to their own medication was worse than 90% of the time. If so, they would enter the second stage and be placed in Group 1 or 2

Standard Deviation 16.2
73.9 percentage of days dose monitor recorded
Standard Deviation NA
Mean and Standard Deviation not available since only 1 participant was analyzed for the assessment

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 50 days

The investigators will also measure the participants' satisfaction with the dose monitor using a short Likert questionnaire. The questionnaire will include 5 questions. Each question will offer choices 1-5 with an overall minimum summed score of 5 and a maximum summed score of 25. Higher score will indicate higher satisfaction.
