  • Title: An electronic pillbox for continuous monitoring of medication adherence.
    Author: Hayes TL, Hunt JM, Adami A, Kaye JA.
    Journal: Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc; 2006; 2006():6400-3. PubMed ID: 17946369.
    Abstract:
    We have developed an instrumented pillbox, called a MedTracker, which allows monitoring of medication adherence on a continuous basis. This device improves on existing systems by providing mobility, frequent and automatic data collection, more detailed information about non-adherence and medication errors, and the familiar interface of a 7-day drug store pillbox. We report on the design of the MedTracker, and on the results of a field trial in 39 homes to evaluate the device.
