Abstract:
In this paper,we reviewed the various advanced technologies and methods that could help patients for measuring adherence of patients.There exist intelligent technologies that are available for measuring medication adherence,including medication event monitoring system (MEMS(R)),smart blister packs,radio frequency identification(RFID) embedded smart drawers,and wisely aware RFID dosage (WARD) system.Utilization of these advanced technologies and systems have aided in enhancing the adherence to a greater extent.For example,MEMS(R) refers to the electronic cap that counts the number of bottles opened,but it can be employed only with bottles.Smart blisters are pharmaceutical packagings that possess the capability of monitoring when a pill or tablet is taken out of its packing.All those intelligent technologies can help in active monitoring of patients regarding adherence and capable of eradicating various medication errors due to which adherence is affected.
