ICMR - PORA MED ADHERE

Project Description

Approximately 40-75% of the elderly individuals suffering from chronic diseases have been found to be nonadherent to treatment. There is no evidence on effectiveness of pill organisers
and pill reminder apps in Indian geriatric population.
The primary objective is to assess effectiveness of pill organisers and pill reminder apps singly or in combination for improving medication adherence in elderly patients
receiving multiple medications. Additionally, we will evaluate the feasibility of use and impact on health utilization, adverse clinical outcomes and cost-utility.
