For those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, adherence to a home medication regimen is important for health. Reductions in the number of daily medication-taking events or daily pill burden improve adherence. A novel advice-giving computer application was developed using the SMART platform to generate advice on how to potentially simplify home medication regimens. MedMinify generated advice for 41.3% of 1,500 home medication regimens for adults age 60 years and older with chronic medical conditions. If the advice given by MedMinify were implemented, 320 regimen changes would have reduced daily medication-taking events while an additional 295 changes would have decreased the daily pill burden. The application identified four serious drug-drug interactions and so advised against taking two pairs of medications simultaneously. MedMinify can give advice to change home medication regimens that could result in simpler home medication-taking schedules.
对于患有高血压、糖尿病或高胆固醇的人来说，坚持家庭用药方案对健康很重要。减少每日服药次数或每日 pill 负担可提高依从性。使用 SMART 平台开发了一种新颖的提供建议的计算机应用程序，以生成有关如何潜在简化家庭用药方案的建议。MedMinify 为 1500 例 60 岁及以上患有慢性疾病的成年人的家庭用药方案中的 41.3% 生成了建议。如果实施 MedMinify 给出的建议，320 种方案改变将减少每日服药次数，另有 295 种改变将减少每日 pill 负担。该应用程序识别出四种严重的药物相互作用，因此建议不要同时服用两对药物。MedMinify 可以提供建议来改变家庭用药方案，从而使家庭服药时间表更简单。
