<span style="font-size:12.0pt;letter-spacing:-.05pt">This position is funded by a research grant from
</span>the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute of Nursing Research. The grant is entitled
<i>Improving Hypertension Medication Adherence for Older Adults</i> [R01NR018469] and is a joint initiative of the University of Arizona and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The project is focused on the development and testing of MEDSReM-2: Medication
Education, Decision Support, Reminding, and Monitoring. MEDSReM-2 is a <span style="font-size:12.0pt;letter-spacing:-.05pt">
digital therapeutic technology system to support self-management of hypertension, serving as a partner – providing education, coaching, feedback, reminding, and monitoring for prescribed antihypertensive medications and blood pressure (BP). MEDSREM-2 is a
theory-based, technology-enhanced comprehensive self-management system that supports hypertension medication adherence and BP management for non-adherent older adults. We will test the efficacy of MEDSReM-2 in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for older
adults with hypertension to assess medication adherence, BP, perceived competence and autonomy, and mobile device proficiency.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
