The investigators are interested in studying how brain injury (TBI, stroke, etc.) survivors manage self-administering their medication once they return home, and are aiming to improve their medication adherence. In this six month long study, patients will be placed into one of three intervention groups 1) standard care received (usual care, no reminder provided), 2) receive a video call at time medication is to be taken, 3) receive an automated text message when medication is to be taken. The investigators aim to identify which intervention is best at helping brain injury survivors adhere to their medication schedule, with the future goal of implementing this type of reminder protocol into standard care. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that automated reminder text messages will result in MSA improvement comparable to video calls, maintained over the six month period. Allocation to groups: Patients will be randomized to receive video calls, automated text messages, or no intervention (standard care). The randomization schedule is by computer-generated number list.
