MedHerent: Improving Medication Adherence in Older Adults With Contextually Sensitive Alerts Through an Application That Adheres to You.
Review in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Digital health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Medication adherence has long been viewed as a patient issue, but what if we shift this perspective? What if medications could adjust to the needs and context of patients, instead of the other way around? We used design thinking to create a contextually sensitive digital health mobile application to improve medication adherence in older adults. We define contextual sensitivity as sensitivity to the context of patient needs. Through persona and scenario ideation, interviews, evaluations of existing solutions, prototypes, and consultations with subject matter experts, we uncovered key barriers to medication adherence. We outline 4 key challenges: alert fatigue, poor health literacy, lack of social support, and lack of behavior change and motivation, which are specific to older adults. The resulting application features reminders and alerts, a dashboard and calendar, educational resources, social sharing, and reward features. These 5 elements emphasize the significance of design thinking, contextual sensitivity, trimodal alerts, and co-interventions in developing effective digital health solutions for medication adherence among older adults.
