Medicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)Mobile-Based SMS Intervention to Encourage Compliance in People with Serious Mental Disorders – Developing User-Friendly Intervention (SMS) and a Multi-Centre Randomised Controlled Design Background Non-adherence is the single most important predictor of relapse and readmission among patients with serious mental disorders affecting more costs to the society and disturbing everyday lives of patients and their families.

Medicine 2.0'14 Summit & World Congress (Maui, Hawaii, USA)SMS Reminders in Various Countries and Patient Groups: A Narrative Literature Review Background: Short Message Service (SMS) text messages are a widely recognized communication method, and it is currently being used to support patients’ adherence to treatment.
