Impact of mobile application and conventional diary method on the adherence to the medications among subjects attending Diabetes clinic in a tertiary care center of eastern India: A randomized pilot study

With the increasing integration of technology into healthcare, mobile health applications have emerged as innovative tools to improve adherence. The Medisafe app is a smartphone-based platform designed to support patients in managing their medication schedules through features like timely reminders, dose tracking, adherence reports, and educational alerts. These functionalities not only facilitate consistent medication intake but also actively engage patients in their own care, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes.

Comparing digital adherence tools like the Medisafe app with conventional diary-based methods can provide valuable insights into the relative effectiveness, patient acceptability, and practicality of these approaches. Such comparisons are especially relevant in the context of chronic disease management, where sustained adherence is essential for long-term health benefits. Understanding which method promotes higher adherence can guide clinicians, patients, and healthcare systems in adopting strategies that optimize treatment outcomes.
