The study aims to evaluate the safety, usability and efficacy of the ReX-C - a novel medication management system - in measurement and improvement of adherence, in patients receiving oral anti-coagulation therapy for the treatment and prevention of thromboembolism.
ReX-C is a mobile system intended to provide solid, oral medication on patient demand, according to a pre-programmed treatment protocol. ReX-C addresses poor adherence to medication therapy by providing real-time, reliable adherence data to caregivers and timely, personalized reminders to patients. During the study, the use of ReX-C system to receive medications will be compared to Standard of Care. Patients' adherence will be evaluated for both methods.
