Interventions

DEVICE

GlowCap

The main research instrument is an electronic pill bottle called GlowCaps (by Vitality) that has the ability to transmit adherence data to the Way to Health (WTH) web portal. The investigators will measure adherence by counting the number of properly taken doses during the final four weeks of the study. Each time the pill bottle is opened, a date- and time-stamped wireless signal is sent to the Vitality server via the AT\&T cellular network which will then be uploaded to the Way to Health portal for aggregation.

BEHAVIORAL

Daily email, text message, or phone call reminders
