A recent Wall Street Journal article features CHIBE’s HeartStrong Study, funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. The study is currently testing new ways to motivate people to take their medicine more consistently—including greater involvement of friends and family and the possibility, every day, for those who take their pills to win a small cash prize. Shivan Mehta, director of operations at the Penn Medicine Center for Health Care Innovation, notes that people with active support networks tend to do better, with fewer hospitalizations and possibly lower mortality rates.
