        abstract = {Getting patients to take their medications on time, in the right amount, and without forgetting any doses is one of the biggest problems in healthcare. It seems simple. It's not authentic. When they visit the clinic, people with chronic illnesses like diabetes or high blood pressure may not always receive the help they require for their mental and physical health issues. Missing a few doses may not seem like a big deal, but when you consider the big picture, the consequences can be disastrous and occur before anybody realises there is a problem. 
To sum up, people who use health apps a lot are more likely to take their medications as directed. The reminders were the most important part.Tracking tools and alerts also had an effect, but not as much as the other things. We discovered that perceived utility and trust are the two primary attributes that sustain user engagement with programs.
Even if these results aren't completely new, they give us strong, regional data on a topic that Westerners still do most of the research on. The conclusion is very helpful: health apps should be part of the tools used to treat long-term illnesses, but only if they are made with real patients in mind and not just to get downloads.},
