Help Increasing Medication Adherence in Post-transplant Children
A recent study published in the American Journal of Kidney Disease highlighted the effectiveness of a smart pill organizer made by Vaica, a digital health company focused on medication adherence. The study, called the TAKE-IT trial, showed that young patients with kidney transplants who used the smart pill organizer and received personal coaching were more adherent to therapy compared to the control group. The study used data collected from the electronic pill monitors to address nonadherence on a personal level. The results demonstrated positive effects, leading to the launch of a follow-up study called TAKE-IT TOO. The follow-up study will assess whether a more realistic model without a coach can still produce similar results. The use of actionable data and coaching made a significant impact on adherence. The study suggests that pharmacists could play a role in promoting adherence.
