研究概览

简要总结

The study aims to demonstrate that an automated SMS messaging system can significantly enhance follow up adherence among glaucoma patients. We hypothesize that the SMS reminder system will lead to a 20% increase in follow up appointment attendance adherence. Improved adherence is expected to lead to better disease management, fewer complications, and ultimately, better preservation of vision.
