Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Mobile Health Interventions
  • Patient Empowerment

Background:

  • Pharmacotherapy is a cornerstone of medical treatment.
  • Patients face challenges in daily medication management, including adherence, understanding effects, and monitoring outcomes.
  • Mobile applications offer a accessible platform for personalized, on-the-go medication management support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing mobile applications for medication management.
  • To focus on apps that help patients understand and take their medications.
  • To propose future development based on an 'understand and manage' concept, shifting from 'adhere to medication'.

Main Methods:

  • Web searches conducted on iOS Apple App Store and Android Google Play Store.
  • Search terms included: medication management, pill reminder, medication health monitor, medication helper.
  • App information categorized by features, author affiliation, specialty, user interface, cost, and user rating.

Main Results:

  • 328 apps were categorized (175 Android, 153 iOS).
  • Most apps developed by the software industry (73%); few by healthcare professionals or academia.
  • Common features: reminders, symptom tracking, data sharing; diabetes was the most prevalent specialty.

Conclusions:

  • Existing mobile apps offer valuable features for medication management.
  • Future app development should prioritize patient engagement and empowerment through an 'understand and manage' approach.
  • There is a need for improved app store standards and professional evaluation platforms for health apps.
