Abstract:
Mobile application-based technology was used to study medication compliance and influence on cardiovascular lifestyle in ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients who undergo percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The Mobile-app was made available at Google play store; the app was downloaded and instructions to use were thought to patients by the research team during hospitalization in the study group. A total of two hundred patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent PTCA were enrolled into the study. The control group had telephonic follow up at periodic interval. Both groups had clinical follow ups at appropriate time intervals. Higher medication compliance, smaller number of adverse events and regular follow ups were significantly more in mobile-app group than in control group.
