Collabree: An Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence
Zusammenfassung der Studie
This is a clinical study aimed at improving medication adherence in individuals with hypertension. Adult women and men suffering from hypertension who need to take at least 4 pills per day can participate in this study. We want to find out if Collabree, a mobile application that supports users in therapy implementation, is helpful in improving medication adherence. The study will also assess whether the use of Collabree can improve blood pressure control. The study includes 4 visits that will take place over a 90-day intervention program and a 90-day follow-up observation. Additionally, a pre-study appointment is required to check if you are eligible for participation. The visits will be conducted at the University Hospital Basel. Each visit lasts about 1-2 hours. During the visits, blood pressure will be measured in the clinic as well as through 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Participants will also fill out questionnaires. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 3 groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Two of these groups will receive the Collabree mobile application. All participants will receive a box to store their blood pressure medication. This system monitors medication adherence by documenting the times when the box is opened and closed. Standard care will be provided to all participants.

Untersuchte Intervention
In this study, medication adherence will be compared among three groups.
Participants in groups 1 and 2 will participate in a 90-day program to promote medication adherence and a 90-day follow-up observation using the Collabree application. The exact features and use of the mobile application differ for groups 1 and 2. More information will be provided to these participants during the installation of the application on their phone. Participants in group 3 will not receive the Collabree application and will continue to be treated according to their standard treatment.
