UNLABELLED: Background and Introduction: Mobile applications are useful tools to improve medication adherence. As developers continue to improve the features of existing mobile applications, pharmacists should be aware of the current features that are available to patients. There are limited studies available that discuss which applications have the most desirable features. The aim of this study was to compare available mobile applications and identify ideal application features used to improve medication adherence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: As of September 5, 2014, the search terms "medication adherence" and "medication reminder" generated a total of 225 hits. Ideal application features were used to create an Application Score Card to identify applications with the highest number of ideal features. RESULTS: We identified 30 applications that were written in English, medication related, last updated in 2014, and did not meet any exclusion criteria. The top five applications RxNetwork, Mango Health, MyMeds, C3HealthLink, and HuCare are discussed in detail. DISCUSSION: There are numerous studies looking at medication adherence. However, current literature regarding mobile applications to improve medication adherence is lacking. This article will provide pharmacists with a brief overview of the available mobile applications and features that could be used to improve patient adherence to medications. CONCLUSION: Existing mobile applications to improve medication adherence have ideal features that could help patients take medication as prescribed. Once further research is performed to establish their efficacy, pharmacists could begin to recommend mobile applications to their patients.
未标注:背景与引言:移动应用程序是提高药物依从性的有用工具。随着开发者不断改进现有移动应用程序的功能,药剂师应了解患者可使用的当前功能。目前讨论哪些应用程序具有最理想功能的研究有限。本研究的目的是比较现有的移动应用程序,并确定用于提高药物依从性的理想应用程序功能。 材料与方法:截至2014年9月5日,搜索词“药物依从性”和“用药提醒”共产生225条结果。使用理想的应用程序功能创建了一个应用程序评分卡,以识别具有最多理想功能的应用程序。 结果:我们确定了30个用英语编写、与药物相关、于2014年最后更新且未符合任何排除标准的应用程序。详细讨论了排名前五的应用程序RxNetwork、Mango Health、MyMeds、C3HealthLink和HuCare。 讨论:有许多关于药物依从性的研究。然而,目前缺乏关于用于提高药物依从性的移动应用程序的文献。本文将为药剂师简要概述现有的移动应用程序及其可用于提高患者药物依从性的功能。 结论:现有的用于提高药物依从性的移动应用程序具有理想的功能,可帮助患者按规定服药。一旦进行进一步研究以确定其疗效,药剂师就可以开始向患者推荐移动应用程序。
