Remote Patient Monitoring of Chronic Disease in Community Health Centers (REDUCE)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the biomedical effects of these RPM interventions, and to gain insights into barriers and facilitators to implementation and adoption of the programs. Our results will inform efforts to ensure that patients in community health centers can benefit from digital RPM interventions and will lay the foundation for large-scale implementation of such interventions.
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.
