Themes and sample quotes of the FITT

FITT
Theme	Sample Quote
Individual-Task Fit:
Motivation for strict medication adherence	This has helped me keeping track of my time, and taking it [medication] every day at the same time.
Self-efficacy for overall health management	It’s been real helpful. I feel I can take care of my health.
Engagement with medication reminders	My memory is not as much as good as it was before. I really need this to help remind me to take my medication.
Individual-Technology Fit:
Ease of use	It’s a little easier to open than some of my regular pill bottle. I don’t have to shake it to see how many is in there.
HIV-related stigma and disclosure of HIV status	It doesn’t show what medication I am taking…because it doesn’t say it on the bottle.
Customized alert of medication time windows based on individual routine set-up	It is a good fit with my life. I had 10 o’clock. That’s what I’m aiming for….I’m trying to change that routine, and trying to at least take my pills before midnight.
Preference for device design	I didn’t travel with it because it was very difficult to travel with. Because you would have to carry something big enough to carry the bottle, because it’s very delicate.
Task-Technology Fit:
System functionality of data transfer from the electronic pill bottle to the app	Once in a while, even though I’ve taken it, it doesn’t update my phone for a couple of hours. I would be thinking that I wasn’t taking my meds?
Self-awareness of system syncing signals	I like that it lights up, and it connects to the phone, and that the phone knows you took your meds. I can see it. I can know it right away.
