Participants must manage their own meds, have internet access, an email address, and use the patient portal MyChart at a specific primary care practice.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The PATTERN Intervention is being tested to see if it can help monitor medication use in older adults with multiple chronic conditions using technology. The study aims to adapt this strategy for routine checks on how well patients stick to their prescribed drug regimens.See study design

What are the potential side effects?
