App boosts heart Patients' Pill-Taking in new study
NCT ID NCT05557123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app that reminds patients to take their medication can improve how consistently people with atrial fibrillation take their blood thinner (rivaroxaban). Over 600 adults with AF and other health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes used either the app or standard care for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if the app helped more patients take at least 95% of their prescribed doses.
