Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators will use a mobile health platform that enables users to track dose-by-dose medication adherence through asynchronous, video directly observed therapy (DOT). This helps patients take their medication as prescribed and gives providers the assurance that their patients are supported and successful in treatment. DOT is the practice of watching a patient take every dose of medicine in-person, and has typically only been done in extreme cases because it can be both costly and burdensome: DOT is the standard of care for Tuberculosis treatment and has proven high-adherence rates. Through mHealth technology, DOT can be used more broadly and without added burden; emocha's technology allows this through enabling patients to use their mobile application to view their regimen, record themselves taking every dose of their medication, report side effects or symptoms, visualize their treatment progress, and access educational content. This information is encrypted and transmitted to a HIPAA-secure web portal for providers to review. The aim of this study is to understand medication adherence in adolescent liver transplant recipients using the mHealth application.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
mHealth Intervention
Participants will receive the mHealth application either while they are an inpatient post-transplant, or at one of their post-transplant clinic visits. Study personnel will assist participants with downloading the mHealth application and explain its functioning. Participants will then use the application to aid in immunosuppressive medication adherence post-transplant.
mHealth Intervention
The video DOT app will allow transplant recipients to see their medication regimen, record themselves taking every dose, report side effects or symptoms, visualize their treatment progress, access educational content, and track appointments. This information is encrypted and transmitted to a HIPAA-secure web portal for providers to review.
