Robust Evaluation to Measure Improvements in Nonadherence From Low-cost Devices

Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether adherence to oral maintenance medications differs for patients randomized to receive a RxTimerCap, a Take-N-Slide, a standard pillbox, or none of these devices, with the hypothesis that low-touch devices improve adherence over control and that the increase in adherence is agnostic across devices.
