Text message reminders to help take heart rhythm medications
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether regular text message reminders help people with irregular heartbeats take their blood-thinning medications as prescribed. Taking these medications consistently is important to prevent stroke, and the study wants to see if simple reminders improve how often people remember to take them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) confirmed by your doctor's records
- You have been taking a prescribed blood-thinner medication by mouth for at least 3 months
- You own a mobile phone that can receive text messages
- You are able to read and understand Chinese
- You do not have severe memory problems or a serious mental health condition that would make it hard to follow the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a smart watch to track your heart rhythm and guide treatment decisions can help manage paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). Researchers will monitor your heart activity continuously through wearable devices to see if this approach improves outcomes.
This study tests whether a simple mental exercise — imagining positive future events — can help people with atrial fibrillation take their blood thinners more consistently. If you have atrial fibrillation and are prescribed a blood thinner, you may be eligible.
This trial tests if talking with a pharmacist helps people with atrial fibrillation remember to take their blood thinner medicine correctly. It may improve stroke prevention.
This trial studies whether sending heart rhythm recordings from a phone (using the KardiaMobile ECG device) can improve health care use and patient experience for people with atrial fibrillation. It may help your care team monitor you more smoothly—if you meet the study requirements.
This study tests a mobile education program for people with atrial fibrillation. If you have an Android smartphone and meet the other criteria, you may be able to join and learn how to manage your condition better.
This trial tests if a smartwatch can accurately measure how often atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) occurs. If you have AFib and can wear a watch, you may help doctors find a simpler way to track your condition.
