“…To the best of our knowledge, research on evaluating interventions of smartphone application technology in this field has not been published. Three studies included mild to moderate acne patients,4,6,7 and one study included moderate to severe acne patients 5. Among the four studies, there were two studies in which the technology intervention groups were compared with no intervention groups,4,6 one study that directly compared the technology intervention group with different types of intervention groups,7 and one study that compared the technology group with either the intervention group or different types of intervention groups 5.…”

“…Both studies used each intervention method to remind patients to apply topical medications 4,5. In contrast, two other studies used Internet-based interventions as education tools instead of reminders 6,7. Medication adherence rates by interventions among three studies are presented in Figure 2 4–6.…”

The results from Wang et al7 were not included in this table because they did not report medication adherence rates by intervention.…”

ObjectiveTo examine recent studies on the effect of mobile and electronic (ME)-health technology on adherence to acne treatment.BackgroundWith emerging use of ME-health technology, there is a growing interest in evaluating the effectiveness of the tools on medication adherence. Examples of ME-health technology-based tools include text message-based pill reminders and Web-based patient education.MethodsMEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for articles on adherence to acne treatment published through November 2013. A combination of search terms such as “acne” and “adherence” or “compliance” were used.ResultsAdherence to oral acne medication was higher than for topical acne medication. The frequency of office visits was also an influencing factor for acne treatment adherence. The telephone-based reminders on a daily basis did not improve acne patients’ medication adherence, whereas the Web-based educational tools on a weekly basis had a positive effect on medication adherence in acne treatment.ConclusionIn using ME-health interventions, factors such as medication dosage forms, frequency of intervention, and patients’ preferences should be taken into consideration. Developing disease-specific text message reminders may be helpful to increase adherence rates. In addition, a combination of text message reminders with another type of intervention may improve medication adherence.

“…However, increasing the number of office visits can be financially and logistically impractical. A more feasible solution is to have patients report their treatment progress without a visit; a periodic electronic survey can be used (4,5). For patients with acne, periodic surveys, in which patients reported their treatment experiences over the Internet, more than doubled their use of medication (5).…”
