Impact of telehealth modalities on medication adherence in older adults with heart disease: Evidence from NHATS.
Article in Internet interventions, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: As telehealth becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare, understanding its impact on medication adherence among older adults with chronic conditions like heart disease is essential. This study investigates the effects of various telehealth modalities on medication adherence rates in this demographic. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of various telehealth modalities on medication adherence among older adults with heart disease, utilizing data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Methods: Data were analyzed from 1552 participants aged 65 and older diagnosed with heart disease, sourced from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS). Telehealth modalities assessed included video consultations, phone visits, patient portals, and online refill services. Medication adherence was measured using validated self-reported questionnaires. Modified Poisson regression with robust error variance was employed to evaluate the relationship between telehealth engagement and adherence, controlling for demographic variables. Results: Findings revealed that participants utilizing video consultations and online refill services had significantly higher medication adherence rates compared to those engaging in traditional care methods. Risk Ratios indicated that these modalities facilitated better communication and medication management, ultimately enhancing adherence. Conclusions: Telehealth modalities offer promising strategies to improve medication adherence among older adults with heart disease. The study underscores the importance of integrating digital health interventions into routine care, which can address barriers to adherence and improve health outcomes in this vulnerable population.
