Abstract

We developed a HeartGuardian app and explored its effects supporting people with CVD on lipid control and medication adherence. Fifty-seven patients were enrolled, 29 in the intervention group and 28 in the control group. The 12-week intervention resulted in a moderate improvement in lipid level and greater improvement in medication adherence (82.14% vs 37.93%, P = 0.001). These outcomes translate into significant differences in occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (28.75% vs 72.43%, P = 0.001).
