简要总结
A novel device, TAD, has been developed to aid adherence to prescribed regimens and may have a roll in hospice pain management. This study aims to assess medication adherence relating to missed doses or improperly timed doses with and without the aid of a mobile device as a primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints will be patient, nursing, and provider satisfaction.
详细描述
This study is a randomized crossover study in which patients will be randomized to start with or without a mobile device assisting the patient or caregiver in using the device. The investigators aim to enroll 20 patients across 3 sites. Each patient is expected to participate in the study for 12 weeks. After the first 2 weeks of participation, the patient will either begin using the mobile device to assist or will stop using the mobile device for the next 2 weeks. after the initial 4 weeks, the patient will choose to continue with or without using the mobile device.
