Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a medication reminder app can help people with unruptured aneurysms take their medication as prescribed.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who can visit the research site, speak English or Spanish fluently, and are scheduled for elective stent-based procedures to treat unruptured cervical and intracranial aneurysms. It's not for those without an iPhone, where treatment doesn't involve dual antiplatelet therapy, with conditions preventing treatment, contraindications to such therapy, or certain vessel anatomical characteristics.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a medication reminder app improves adherence to Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in patients having endovascular surgery for aneurysms. Participants will be randomly assigned either to use the app alongside standard care or receive only standard care without the app.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While this trial focuses on using an app rather than a drug intervention directly, side effects may relate more to potential issues with using technology like stress from reminders or frustration if there are technical difficulties.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: App Medication Reminder GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients in this group will receive dual antiplatelet medication reminders.
Group II: Non-app Using GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Patients in this group receive the same standard of care [i.e. endovascular stent-based treatment of unruptured aneurysms] as the other group, but do not receive app dual antiplatelet reminders.
