This study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to implement CareAide® app among healthcare providers and patients at a primary care clinic in Malaysia.
This is an implementation-qualitative research study meaning researchers will collect data regarding the adoption rate, ease of implementation and adoption, and patient's willingness to use the application. The researchers will also compare the effectiveness of the application as a tool to remind patients to take their medicine, by comparing between a group of participants who use the app and another group of participants who do not use the app.
This study requires participants to use an app, then attend some routine follow-ups and be administered blood tests, followed by an interview to collect their opinions, feelings, and experiences.
