Medication Adherence study: Wellth App vs Action Planning
Official title Mobile Cued Adherence Therapy (mCAT) for Blood Pressure Medication
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06876233
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether daily rewards for taking blood‑pressure medicine, with or without planning steps, can keep people taking their pills, lower blood pressure, and cut health costs.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have high blood pressure and take medicine for it.
- What's involved
- You will use a phone app that sends you daily rewards and may ask you to plan when you take your medicine. You will fill out five online surveys over two years, record your blood pressure for a week after each survey, and, if you are in the reward groups, send photos of you taking your pills for four months. The best and worst performers may be asked to talk for 30 minutes about what helped or hindered them.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts two years and includes five online surveys, weekly blood‑pressure checks, and photo submissions for four months if you are in a reward group.
