Mobile phone-based interventions for improving adherence to medication prescribed for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults

CONCLUSIONS: There is low-certainty evidence on the effects of mobile phone-delivered interventions to increase adherence to medication prescribed for the primary prevention of CVD. Trials of BP self-monitoring with mobile-phone telemedicine support reported modest benefits. One trial at low risk of bias reported modest reductions in LDL cholesterol but no benefits for BP. There is moderate-certainty evidence that these interventions do not result in harm. Further trials of these interventions are warranted.PMID:33769555 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD012675.pub3
