    In this study, based on the inclusion criteria of heart failure patients from the Cardiovascular Clinic of Shahid Madani Hospital in Tabriz in 1399 will be selected by available methods and by stating the objectives of the research, their consent and consent will be obtained to participate in the study. Participants in the study randomly using RAS software with blocks of sizes 6 and 9 and 1: 1: 1 allocation ratio in three control groups and the first intervention group (drug reminder box) and the second intervention group (web SMS reminder system) ) will be placed. To hide the allocation, opaque, closed and identical envelopes will be used and the envelopes will be numbered from 1 to 189 and the type of intervention will be written on paper based on a random allocation sequence and placed inside the envelopes, respectively. Production of the allocation sequence and preparation of the envelopes based on it will be done by a person not involved in the research. In order to control age as a confounding factor, stratification will be done in terms of age. According to the proportion of patients with heart failure aged 18-45 years and 46 years and above, one-fifth of the envelopes will be allocated to the first age group and the rest to the second age group.

    Second intervention group: management and SMS sending software was designed for the patients of the second intervention group. This software is specially implemented for managing SMS recipients with the possibility of sending SMS in groups or individually. In setting the content of the SMS for the recipients, using the combination of the details of the recipient of the SMS, including the name and the selected text, makes the recipient familiar with the main content of the SMS. Basic information management is done in the form of contact information management, contact grouping, determining the specific and general text of the SMS in this software. After preparing the text of the text messages and the desired settings, the text messages are sent on the telecommunication platform through a dedicated modem that can use the telecommunication SIM card. The possibility of using panels and web telecommunication services to send text messages is also provided in this software. In this group, during the meeting, arranged on how to use SMS, which can be managed by this web-based software with the ability to manage patients' identity cards and medication regimens, and the possibility of sending the desired information at specified intervals to the SMS system. The Internet will be trained to send personalized SMS reminders that will be sent to patients several times a day at specific times according to the medication regimen, and feedback will be practically taken from the learning. And the drugs prescribed by the doctor, which should be taken by patients in this group within a month, will be poured into a can, and at the end of 30 days, the researcher will contact the participant and ask the participants to count the number of pills. Remaining by the researcher and completing the Morisky Drug Adherence Questionnaire and the Cognitive Level Status Questionnaire and the Checklist for Registering Drug Use by the researcher and placing the next month's pills in the box, return to the clinic. You will also be asked questions and notes during a telephone call to the hospital during the past month due to this illness or other causes. The researcher's phone number will be provided to the participants to contact the researcher if they need help. The same will be done for the second and third months. It should be noted that all the outcomes in the mentioned times in hospitalized patients will be examined and the analysis will be done in groups with and without considering them and in case of differences in the significance of both results will be reported. Meanwhile, the length of each text message and the number of words are short and the messages will be understandable and simple for the participants, and the text messages sent in standard format will be received and used by all phones that can be used in the country's mobile network. The text of the SMS will be as follows: Mr. / Madam ---- Please take the medicine ---- in a dose of ---- at ---- hour. Finally, at the end of each intervention month, the degree of adherence to the medication regimen in this group will be determined by filling out an 8-item Morisky self-report questionnaire.
