Helping heart failure patients take meds with family support
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether family-focused coaching and easy-to-read materials can improve heart failure medication adherence. It also uses an electronic pillbox to track how consistently you take your meds, with your care partner involved.
