“Please Remember you next Medicine Date is 18/02/2016 at 15:00.”

Can you imagine such a popping message in your mobile can actually cure you from your chronic sufferings. Think!

Constant Reminders through SMS/Text are most effective in minimizing the high blood pressure conditions in people, according to a new joint study conducted by researchers at Britain's Oxford University and the University of Cape Town in South Africa.

"High blood pressure is a common condition that can be managed successfully with tablets. Yet, even in health systems where that medication is freely available, people can struggle to keep taking the tablets regularly," said professor Andrew Farmer, from Oxford's department of primary health care sciences. 

"Two common issues are not turning up to collect medicine - so running out - or forgetting to take tablets. We knew that text messages had worked to support people with HIV/Aids to stick to their treatment and improve their health as a result. We wanted to see whether the messages could work for blood pressure treatment in a deprived community," he added. Read more about the study:
