Text reminders may boost heart medication adherence in large new study
NCT ID NCT07522645
First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study will test whether sending reminders by text, email, or secure patient portal messages helps people with heart disease or diabetes refill their statin prescriptions. About 22,000 adults who have not refilled their statin in 3 months will receive an initial message, and those who don't refill may get a second message using a different method. Researchers will track pharmacy records to see if these simple digital nudges improve medication adherence.
