A two-arm randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether a gamification intervention plus involvement of a supportive partner (social support) and sending reports to physicians (accountability) increases medication adherence in patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The study will randomize 84 patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a history of poor medication adherence seen in a single Penn Medicine clinic to an 18-week gamification intervention or to attention control text messages alone.
