Web basEd soCial Media tecHnology to Improvement in Adherence to Dual anTiplatelet Therapy Following Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation

Summary

Few studies have attempt to improve DAPT adherence through social media. The investigators will explore the prevalence of DAPT discontinuation and prove the hypothesis that using social media will improve DAPT adherence among patients requiring DAPT following DES implantation.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Text Messages

Usual text messages four times a week, including cardiovascular knowledge and follow-up reminders, such as risk factors for CHD and typical symptoms of myocardial infarction.

BEHAVIORAL

Personalized Reminders

1. The mHealth tools will provide special interventions according to the patients' medical history. For example, patients with hypertension will receive daily reminders on blood pressure measurement and medication. They will also receive early warning on hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of \>180 mmHg or \<90 mmHg. Patients who smoke will be required to quit smoking. Every patient will receive a Health Report monthly, which will reflect their drug compliance, blood pressure and so on. 2. Drug Reminders: Patients' medication information will be recorded by obtaining pictures of their medication. Patients will be asked to punch time clocks simply in the mHealth tools. If they forget to punch cards, they can punch cards whenever they think of it. If there is no record of medication for 3 days, SMS alerts will be received, and phone calls will be received over 7 days.

BEHAVIORAL

Interactive Responses

1. Auto-Response: After sending personal or discomfort symptom questions, the patients will be provided with an automatic response pushed by the back-end database by crawling the keywords. It is suggested that the answer is just for reference. In case of urgent questions, they will be advised to consult the clinicians. 2. The researchers will communicate with the patients every month.
