There is a high rate of medication non-adherence, which can lead to disease progression, disability andmortality. This study tested a novel computer-based text message reminder system to improve adherence to medications. This system proved effective in improving adherence to a placebo in healthy volunteers, and to medications in cardiac patients over a two month period. It was especially effective in individuals at prospectively identified to be at high risk of non-adherence. This system represents a simple and scalable method to improve adherence to medications at a clinical or pharmaceutical level. Further research into the impact of repeated reminders is necessary to explore the impacts of text message reminders in other populations and in other lifestyle interventions. Il y a un taux eleve de non-adherence aux medicaments, ce qui peut provoquer la progression de la maladie, des handicaps et meme la mortalite. Cette etude a verifier un systeme de rappel fonctionnant par messagerie texte afin d’ameliorer l’adherence aux medicaments. Ce systeme a ete prouve efficace dans l’amelioration de l’adherence a un placebo chez des sujets benevoles, et a des medicaments chez des patients cardiaques, sur une periode de 2 mois. Il etait particulierement efficace chez es individus identifies comme ayant un risque eleve de non-adherence. Ce systeme represente une methode simple et mesurable utilisee pour ameliorer l’adherence aux medicaments a un niveau pharmaceutique ou clinique. Des recherches plus poussees sur les consequences de ces rappels repetes sont necessaires afin d’explorer les impacts des rappels texte chez d’autres populations et dans d’autres interventions concernant les habitudes de vie.
