A Mobile Game Designed to Improve Medication Understanding
Abstract
MedMatcher is a mobile game designed to help educate patients about the medications they have been prescribed and the reasons for taking those medications. Through a simple interface, the matching game can be played as many times as desired by both patients and family members. Preliminary trials have indicated that MedMatcher is an ideal adjunct to existing medication education, and has the potential to significantly increase medication understanding.
