Agreement Date:
Jun 1, 2022 - May 31, 2026
Description:
This project aims to develop and validate an evidence-informed decision-making guide. This guide will enable older adults (≥ aged 65 years), care-partners and clinicians select the most appropriate medication adherence technology to address physical, cognitive, perception, motivational and environmental barriers to medication taking. To achieve this goal, the project incorporates multiple studies to identify tools by which to measure different barriers to medication taking, develop a classification system for medication adherence technology, examine user experience of a variety of medication adherence technologies with older adults who have various limitations in medication taking, and assess inhome use and acceptance of medication adherence technology, medication adherence, and impact on care-partner burden.
