This is a randomised, two-arm, open, Phase IV clinical trial to evaluate if the provision of a smart phone-based patient support tool prolongs the patient's rosuvastatin treatment duration.~Patients diagnosed with dyslipidemia or hyperlipidemia at high risk and are treated with rosuvastatin will be offered participation in the study. Patients who accept and sign the Informed Consent will be randomised into one of two study groups:~Active group: In this group, patients will have access to the smart phone-based patient support tool. The smart phone application used on the patients' smart phones will contain both the patient support tool and the questions for the clinical evaluation in the form of the Rosuvastatin Adherence questionnaire (RAQ), Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire - General (BMQ-G), and a Lifestyle questionnaire (LSQ) on disease understanding, lifestyle and treatment awareness. Patients in the Active group will also receive feedback on their daily rosuvastatin treatment as entered in the patient support tool.~Control group: In this group the patients will have no additional support beyond the commonly practiced patient information, i.e. the patients will have no access to the smart phone-based patient support tool. However, a smart phone application will be used to prompt patients with the questions for the clinical evaluation (RAQ, BMQ-G and LSQ).~In this study, no rosuvastatin will be dispensed to the study participants i.e. patients will purchase their rosuvastatin prescription themselves as in normal practice. All assessments in this study (including blood sampling for the lipid profile) will not be used for guiding the treatment of patients in the study.
This is a randomized, two-arm, open label, Phase IV clinical trial to evaluate if the provision of a smart phone-based patient support tool prolongs the patient's rosuvastatin treatment duration.
