The Nudge Study is a partnership with Denver Health, Denver Veterans Affairs, and UCHealth to conduct research to see how well text messages could work to remind and encourage patients take medicines they have already been prescribed. Half of patients with cardiovascular disease do not take their medications as prescribed. This behavior can lead to increased medical risk or even death. Our study plans to learn if sending different text messages, serving as reminders or encouragement, may help patients take their medication more often if they have had trouble keeping up with their medicines.
