Why do patients have trouble taking the meds?
I can not keep track of my medsI don’t understand why I take themI can not remember to take themI am tired of taking all these medsI can not afford them
The Challenge of Meds! • 50% of patients with chronic
diseases do not take their meds as prescribed1
• Low adherence to diabetes regimens is associated with up to twice the medical costs and twice the hospitalization risk2

audiovisual reminders from electronic reminder devices (ERD), and two pager messages
• Improved adherence was found in all but one study using SMS reminders, four studies using ERD and one pager intervention The effectiveness of interventions using electronic reminders to improve adherence to chronic medication Am Med Inform Assoc 2012;19:696-704 doi:10.1136/amiajnl-2011-000748
