Medication Adherence and Outcomes Among Patients in United States With HIV

The goal of this study is to explore the feasibility of using wireless devices and financial incentives to motivate medication adherence among high-risk HIV positive patients. By partnering with the Drexel Partnership Comprehensive Care Clinic at Drexel University, the investigators will be able to identify such patients using clinic patient data, use clinic and physician communication channels to enroll them, and maintain high levels of ongoing participation through the use of incentives. The aim is to improve antiretroviral medication adherence among high-risk HIV positive patients by providing patients with a AdhereTech device (electronic pill bottle), daily adherence notifications tracked by the Way to Health platform, as well as daily lotteries and financial incentives. Upon completion, this study will answer questions important to the feasibility of conducting well-powered randomized controlled trials to improve adherence among HIV patients within the U.S. who have sub-optimal adherence.
