  • Title: Use of software applications to improve medication adherence and achieve more integrated disease management in heart failure.
    Author: Talmor G, Nguyen B, Keibel A, Temelkovska T, Saxon L.
    Journal: Trends Cardiovasc Med; 2018 Oct; 28(7):483-488. PubMed ID: 29699854.
    Abstract:
    The treatment and management of heart failure is associated with high mortality rates and treatment costs. Poor medication adherence is a major barrier to improving care and traditional interventions addressing non-adherence have not consistently demonstrated improvement in health care outcomes like readmission. The reasons for non-adherence are complicated and illustrate the broader challenges patients face when managing a complex disease like heart failure. In this review, a digitally enabled heart failure management platform consisting of medical digital tools and software solutions that are designed to be patient-facing and continuously accessed is explored as a way to integrate the multiple components of heart failure care and deliver personalized patient management tools.
