Technology Enabled Strategies to Promote Treatment Adherence in Liver Transplant

Description

Liver transplantation is increasingly performed for older adults with multiple comorbidities. Medication adherence is key to maintaining proper function of the transplanted liver and optimize health; however, adhering to post-transplant treatment is complex. This trial will study how available technology combined with transplant center resources and caregiver support can optimize medication adherence, quality of life, and health outcomes among new liver transplant recipients at 3 centers.
