• Description:
  OPT-In for Life is a mobile health app designed to improve retention in care and viral suppression among young adults with HIV. The OPT-In for Life app allows participants to manage their own care by directly providing appointment or medication reminders, virtual health visits, help with managing health goals, a two-way secure messaging function, HIVrelated laboratory results and general HIV information. The app allows patients to view their health records of HIV viral load and CD4 counts of the past three years. Care team members send general messages or tailored messages to patients to engage them in care. Through the app, the patients can set up their own health goals, and health care team members can review and discuss the goals during clinical encounters to meet patient health needs beyond the scope of HIV care. Lastly, the app offers telehealth capability for HIV care team members to schedule a secure video conference with patients at a convenient time to provide certain aspects of HIV primary care.
