Empowering Older Adults With Mobile Device Reminders for Medication Adherence
Abstract:
Medication adherence in older adults is a growing concern and is a critical element in treating chronic diseases. This pilot study aimed to assess the impact of a mobile device reminder on medication adherence in those aged 60 and over. Initiating the mobile reminder proved to be beneficial in increasing medication adherence. The Adherence to Refill Medications Scale (ARMS) was used to measure medication adherence. The scale was used pre- and post-intervention. Results concluded that participants' medication adherence significantly improved using the mobile device reminder intervention. Positive outcomes with medication adherence were apparent based on participants' response in this pilot study.
