Abstract
Medication non-adherence causes poor outcomes in paediatric organ transplantation. COVID-19 pandemic has led to an exponential use of mobile health approaches for patient care. Herein, we describe a pilot intervention study using mobile video directly observed therapy building on emerging trends in research and clinical practice pertaining to medication adherence in paediatric organ transplantation.
Highlights
Few appropriate interventions are available to target medication adherence,[3,6] and this study addresses the urgent need to develop and expand effective mobile health approaches in adolescent patients
We developed a pilot study to examine this 12-week asynchronous, mobile video directly observed therapy intervention with 10 adolescent heart transplant recipients who are at least 6 months posttransplant and experiencing difficulties with medication adherence
The current study represents an advancement in mHealth research and efforts to translate these resources into clinical care of paediatric organ transplant patients
