Although health care recommendations should be agreed upon by a patient and her provider, patients cannot always follow these recommendations. Adherence remains low despite decades of research, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to tackle this problem. Interventions to improve adherence can capitalize on our reliance on technology. Digital technology interventions show promise in aiding patients attain and maintain their health care goals, including adherence to medication regimens and vaccination recommendations, receiving necessary treatment, attending appointments, and maintaining healthy behaviors. We present suggestions for clinicians who want to incorporate technologies to help their patients better engage in their health care.
尽管医疗保健建议应由患者及其医疗服务提供者共同商定，但患者并非总能遵循这些建议。尽管经过数十年研究，依从性仍然很低，这凸显了采用创新方法解决这一问题的必要性。改善依从性的干预措施可以利用我们对技术的依赖。数字技术干预措施在帮助患者实现并维持其医疗保健目标方面显示出前景，这些目标包括坚持药物治疗方案和疫苗接种建议、接受必要治疗、按时就诊以及保持健康行为。我们为希望采用技术来帮助患者更好地参与其医疗保健的临床医生提供建议。
