Monocentric, randomised, controlled and open study. Subjects will be included prospectively and consecutively and randomly assigned into two groups. Intervention group A will benefit a medication adherence support program during 12 months while intervention group B during 6 months only. Adherence will be monitored using an Electronic Monitoring system (EM, named MEMS®; Aardex Ltd.) during 24 months. At each pharmacy visit, the pharmacist will conduct a semi-structured interview in 15 minutes based on Fisher's sociocognitive model with the patients. A summary of the interview and the adherence graph will be send to the patient' health professionals.
In addition to usual care, patients are included in a medication adherence support program combining an Electronic Monitoring system (EM, named MEMS®; Aardex Ltd) and motivational semi-structured interviews. This programm is held by the Unisanté's community pharmacists\*, in coordination with medical and nurse staff , to support medication adherence and to promote the continuity of care. For patients not speaking french, english, or italian, the interviews will be done with a interpreter. The medication adherence data will be analysed in both groups along with clinical data obtained through draw samples regularly prescribed by the physician. \*Since the 1st January 2019, the Policlinique Médicale Universitaire became Unisanté, University Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Lausanne, Switzerland).
