Study shows text messages can be ineffective as medication refill reminders

A recent study published in JAMA has shed light on the effectiveness of text message reminders for patients who delay refilling their medications. The study, which included over 9,000 patients in a randomized clinical trial, aimed to determine whether text message reminders could help improve medication refill adherence over a year.

The research found that while there was a slight improvement in refill adherence over the first three months, text message reminders were not effective in improving adherence at the 12-month mark. The study compared different types of text messaging strategies, including generic messages, messages using behavioral nudges, and behavioral nudges with a chatbot. However, there was no significant difference in refill adherence between the different methods.

Lead author Michael Ho emphasized the importance of finding strategies to help patients take their medications regularly, especially for chronic conditions. The study revealed that adherence to chronic cardiovascular medications was low over the 12-month period, highlighting the need for new approaches to improve medication refill behaviors.

Moving forward, the researchers plan to explore the use of more advanced digital technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, to enhance longer-term medication refill behaviors. The study was conducted by a team at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, including faculty from the CU School of Medicine, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Colorado School of Public Health.

For more information on the study, you can access the full article in JAMA. The research conducted at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus aims to address the challenges of medication adherence and improve health outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
