In solid organ transplant recipients, poor adherence to immunosuppressant medications carries the risk of graft rejection (needing a new transplant), post-transplant complications, and increased healthcare costs. Additionally, nonadherence to immunosuppressant medications is imperative to short- and long-term outcomes. The rate of nonadherence in this population varies vastly. Because of lacking objective and accurate nonadherence measurements, both to immunosuppressant drugs and medical indications, the true implications and prevalence of nonadherence is not yet well understood. Therefore, investigators believe that mobile health (mHealth) technology has the potential to allow clinicians and researchers to more comprehensively address and understand nonadherence in solid organ transplant recipients. The aim of this study is to conduct a randomized control trial to compare medication adherence among liver and kidney transplant patients who use the mHealth system against controls who do not.
