The adherence tool for patients
With the Adherence tool, you can log how you’ve taken your medication, with just a few taps. Perhaps you didn’t take it at all, or even more than prescribed? All information is valuable and you’ll be rewarded with points regardless of whether you’ve taken your medication or not, we want to encourage you to be honest!
We know that being 100% adherent is difficult, and our goal for this tool is to help you gain new insights into your medication habits. Perhaps you and your nurse or doctor can identify patterns that can be changed? Or maybe you need support in communicating that you are in fact adherent to your treatment but still not achieving asthma control? Different situations call for different solutions. No matter what your situation looks like, we hope the Adherence tool becomes a helpful tool in your dialogue with your healthcare provider!
As a thank you for engaging with your health by sharing how you medicated, you will earn points in the app. Once you’ve collected enough, we at MediTuner will plant real trees via OneTreePlanted, as a token of our appreciation for your honesty and commitment!
The adherence tool for Healthcare professionals
As a healthcare professional you receive a summary of the patient’s reported adherence, along with lung function data and reported symptoms.
The summary shows how many days the patient has logged their adherence and whether they have reported taking their prescribed medications, additional medications, or none at all and reasons for doing so.
It’s important to remember that the adherence module only displays data for the occasions the patient has chosen to log and is not a complete record of overall adherence. However, even limited reporting can provide an indication of general adherence patterns and what kind of support the patient might need.
Every patient case is different, but we hope this tool supports the conversation around adherence and contributes to an open and constructive dialogue between you and your patient.
Would you like to improve how you use the AsthmaTuner app?
Then we have something that might help!
Alongside the release of the new adherence module, we’re also introducing AsthmaTuner’s very first widget- a small app component you can place directly on your phone’s home screen.
We’ve chosen to feature our tree function in the widget to provide a simple and visual way to support your use of AsthmaTuner. If you haven’t logged your medication in a while, the tree will appear sad but as soon as you log your adherence or complete one of the tasks sent to you by your healthcare provider, the tree will become happy again! You’ll also earn points that ultimately lead to us planting a real tree!
Real trees for real behavior change – through your commitment to lung health!
