简要总结
This study will test the feasibility of MedRem, a novel medication reminder and tracking system on wearable wrist devices, specifically with the Apple Watch 4. The study team will load the MedRem app onto two Apple Watch 4s for use during the study. As the device is placed on the wrist, it is free from the limitations of smartphones. However, one of the major challenges in developing interactive systems for wrist devices is their form factor. The touch screens available on these devices are tiny and much smaller compared to smart phones and tablet computers. MedRem enables user interactions by incorporating speech recognition and text-to-speech features along with clever interface design. The tiny display of the device is used for minimal inputs and outputs, while a user can retrieve and provide more information from/to the system through voice commands. Personalized models are built and updated over time to reduce errors in recognizing users' voice commands, and thus better user experience is provided.

结局指标
主要结局
Use of MedRem System
时间窗: 30 days
Assess the patients' adherence to medications and exercise. Adherence will be measured by patient responses to questions prompted by the MedRem System.
Assessment of Survey
时间窗: 30 days
Acceptance and usability will be measured by the Intervention Patient MedRem Usability Survey. Steps were taken and distance covered data will also be collected from the Apple Watch.
