Video Directly Observed Therapy (VDOT) to Improve Medication Adherence

NCT03970642 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2022-02-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Due to the lack of human resources, it is impossible to monitor patients' medication adherence objectively or in-person by observation like tuberculosis programs worldwide do. The feasibility and patient acceptance of the innovative video-based directly observed therapy (VDOT) approach for improving medication adherence among tuberculosis patients has been demonstrated through studies in the United States as well as internationally (7). Medication adherence among VDOT users has been found to be comparable to in-person directly observed treatment (91% vs 95%) among patients in New York (8). In this clinical research project, we will test the feasibility, acceptance and effectiveness of an innovative mobile-based behavioral intervention to improve medication adherence and depression symptoms among patients suffering from depression.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Video directly observed therapy

The intervention group will receive individualized text reminders on their phone prior to each dose of their depression medicine. They will be requested to use the VDOT smartphone app to make a video recording of each medication dose ingested during the 3 month study period following their first visit. The app will automatically upload the video to a HIPAA compliant server. Research staff will regularly monitor videos using a password protected website and document each medication dose.
