Boehme P, et al. – This paper scrutinized the role of new digital adherence devices in preventing strokes due to atrial fibrillation (AFib). It was determined that adherence devices could aid in improving the patient’s compliance by reminder or feedback function. Newer devices that make use of digital technologies, in particular, displayed promising results but were not used broadly in clinical practice. Evidence was yielded for the assumption that newly available adherence devices could increase adherence rates and thereby lower the number of strokes in patients with AFib.
