This study evaluated the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) platform on mobile devices in measuring and increasing medication adherence in stroke patients on anticoagulation therapy. The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), while reducing the need for monitoring, have also placed pressure on patients to self-manage. Suboptimal adherence goes undetected as routine laboratory tests are not reliable indicators of adherence, placing patients at increased risk of stroke and bleeding. A randomized, parallel-group, 12-week study was conducted in adults (n = 28) with recently diagnosed ischemic stroke receiving any anticoagulation. Patients were randomized to daily monitoring by the AI Platform (intervention) or to no daily monitoring (control). The AI application visually identified the patient, the medication and confirmed ingestion. Adherence was measured by pill counts and plasma sampling in both groups. For all patients (n = 28), mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 57 (13.2) years and 53.6% were female. Mean (SD) cumulative adherence based on the AI Platform was 90.5% (7.5%). Plasma drug concentration levels indicated that adherence was 100% (15 of 15) and 50% (6 of 12) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Patients, some with little experience using a smartphone, successfully used the technology and demonstrated a 50% improvement in adherence based on plasma drug concentration levels. For patients receiving DOACs, absolute improvement increased to 67%. Real-time monitoring has the potential to increase adherence and change behavior, particularly in patients on DOAC therapy.
