Statins have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but adherence to these medications is suboptimal. Improving adherence can be challenging because it is multifactorial and behaviors often occur within the everyday lives of patients and are less addressable during a visit with a clinician. In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized trial to evaluate a behaviorally-designed gamification intervention with remote nursing support to improve statin adherence.
Improving medication adherence can be challenging because behaviors occur within the everyday lives of patients. Therefore, intermittent visit-based adherence interventions or refill reminders have had limited impact. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has been demonstrated in other settings to improve daily health behaviors when combined with automated outreach and a behavioral change strategy, such as gamification. These approaches have been demonstrated to be effective for other daily behaviors such as increasing physical activity levels among a wide range of patient populations including those at elevated risk for major cardiovascular events. MedTrack is a text message-based remote patient monitoring program with several key components: (I) medication check-ins with the ability to set the time(s) for daily medication reminders, (II) a gamification experience to drive behavior change, (III) ability to identify a support partner who receives weekly updates on the patient's game status; (IV) access to an RN team for clinical questions and care coordination, and (V) patients' providers can see real-time progress within an electronic health record (EHR) integrated application.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usual Care | No Intervention | Participants in the usual care arm will have consented for participation and will be informed they are on a waiting list for approximately 6-12 months. During that time they will receive no additional interventions beyond usual care and not be be invited again to enroll in the MedTrack program. | |
| Text Message Group | Experimental | Participants in the intervention arm will have consented for participation in the MedTrack program and will receive the text message intervention and remote support within 1-2 weeks of enrolling. |
