Effectiveness of mHealth interventions in medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular diseases: a systematic review

mHealth interventions have been reported to improve adherence to long-term therapies in chronic conditions. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), a leading cause of mortality g...
