Digital Technology to Support Adherence to Hypertension Medications for Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized by mild impairment in one or more cognitive functions and is associated with an increased risk for failure to take prescribed medications. Hypertension is prevalent among persons with MCI (PwMCI) and nonadherence to medications increases the risk of accelerated cognitive decline through cerebrovascular disease. Adherence is often only 46% or lower among PwMCI.
