Summary

The present study aims to enhance the adherence of beta-blockers by Patient Support Tool through a smart phone application and a wristband, subsequently reduce the risk of angina attacks in patients with stable angina pectoris.

Detailed description

To control heart rate in terms of guidelines in patients with stable angina pectoris reduces risk of cardiovascular events, rehospitalization, and death effectively. Using beta blockers is an efficient therapy to management the HR in SAP patients. However, the recent epidemiological studies have provided evidences that the rate of beta blocker prescribed and used was inadequate, as the first-line therapy to CAD patients with the usage rate less than 30%. Several studies showed that with a reminder supported by smart phones and wearable devices, the adherence of management of patients with chronic disease could be improved significantly.Thus,the present study aims to enhance the adherence of beta-blockers by Patient Support Tool through a smart phone application and a wristband, subsequently reduce the risk of angina attacks.

Conditions

• Adrenergic Beta-Antagonists
• Stable Angina Pectoris
• Medication Adherence
• Mobile Applications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Patient support tool	The patient support tool, a software app installed on the smart phones plus a wrist connected to the smart phones by Bluetooth. The wrist could monitor the pulse, which was recorded to the app in the smart phone. Meanwhile, the app could inform to patients about the importance of medication, remind on the medicine intake, share the patients' data with themselves, and warn the patients if the wrist don't wear.
