“…SMS behavioral interventions supporting disease self-management showed no effect on diabetes [15*] and hypertension [16*] outcomes. SMS behavioral intervention focused on improving medication adherence showed no improved adherence or health outcomes to antiretroviral therapy for HIV [17*] or naltrexone for alcohol use disorder [18*], but did show improved adherence for anti-platelet therapy in heart disease [19] and intra-nasal corticosteroids for allergic rhinitis [20]. For SMS behavioral intervention focused on improving disease prevention , recent studies have shown positive effects for smoking [21*], alcohol use [22*], and infant breastfeeding [23*], and physical activity [24*].…”

Text messaging is an efficient and personal electronic form of communication, making it an ideal modality for remote delivery of behavioral interventions. The ubiquity of cell phones and short message service (SMS) worldwide allow the possibility of SMS behavioral inteventions to impact global health. Studies to date suggest that SMS interventions can effectively support health behaviors and may offer advantages compared to other forms of computerized interventions. Program features optimizing user engagament and persuasiveness are suggested to mediate SMS intervention effect. Future research is tasked with identifying what SMS features are useful to which individuals at what times to best help them initiate and maintain health behaviors.

“…It is a simple and inexpensive strategy, which has proven to help patients taking their medications on time [18]. Furthermore, it has been used to increase medication adherence to a variety of medication classes on a short term [19–22]. This tool could educate people with OAB and help them to improve persistence with antimuscarinic medication on the long term.…”

Real life persistence rate with antimuscarinic treatment in patients with idiopathic or neurogenic overactive bladder: a prospective cohort study with solifenacin

BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that the antimuscarinic treatment of overactive bladder is characterized by low long-term persistence rates. We have investigated the persistence of solifenacin in real life by means of telephonic interviews in a prospective cohort. We included both patients with idiopathic overactive bladder as well as neurogenic overactive bladder.MethodsFrom June 2009 until July 2012 patients with idiopathic or neurogenic overactive bladder who were newly prescribed solifenacin were included. In total 123 subjects were followed prospectively during one year by means of four telephonic interviews, which included questions about medication use and adverse events.ResultsAfter one year 40% of all patients included was still using solifenacin, 50% discontinued and 10% was lost to follow-up. In the neurogenic group 58% was still using solifenacin versus 32% in the idiopathic group after one year (p < 0,05). The main reasons to stop solifenacin were lack of efficacy, side effects and a combination of both.ConclusionsThis prospective cohort study showed a real life continuation rate of 40% after 12 months. This continuation rate is higher than found in most other studies.The use of regular telephonic evaluation might have improved medication persistence. The findings of this study also suggest that patients with neurogenic overactive bladder have a better persistence with this method of evaluation compared to patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.Trial registrationThis study was retrospectively registered on march 17, 2017 at the ISRCTN registry with study ID ISRCTN13129226.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12894-017-0216-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In a recent study that utilized the electronic health record to identify children with asthma whose parents were not refilling their inhaled corticosteroid medication, those randomized to a computerized speech recognition intervention were 25 % more adherent to ICS than usual care families who did not receive a computer-generated call [66•]. Another study applied short messaging service texts to adherence with AR treatment; self-reported adherence in the group receiving text messages doubled that of controls [67].…”

Motivating Patient Adherence to Allergic Rhinitis Treatments

Patient nonadherence significantly burdens the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). Fewer than half of prescribed doses of intranasal corticosteroid medication are taken. The challenges for immunotherapies are even greater. While sustained treatment for 3 to 5 years is required for full benefit, most patients receiving immunotherapy, either subcutaneous or sublingual, stop treatment within the first year. Although research into interventions to improve AR adherence is lacking, lessons learned from adherence interventions in other chronic health conditions can be applied to AR. Two well-established, overriding models of care-the chronic care model and patient-centered care-can improve adherence. The patient-centered care model includes important lessons for allergy providers in their daily practice, including understanding and targeting modifiable barriers to adherence. Additionally, recent studies have begun to leverage health information and communication technologies to reach out to patients and promote adherence, extending patient-centered interventions initiated by providers during office visits.
