If the patient does not take the pill at the appointed time, the system can be pre-configured to send a text message or a phone call.
If the patient takes the medication, that data is sent to a data center. When it’s time for a patient to take a pill, a reminder appears in the app. The bottle stays locked other than during prescribed times to prevent multiple dosing. The minimum supply that can be stored in the bottle is 30 pills or capsules. The bottle holds one prescription and can be set to dispense various pill and capsule sizes. The Pill Connect bottle works in conjunction with an app on the patient’s smartphone. Pill Connect is not a consumer market product. Euclid also sells Pill Connect directly to Physicians to monitor their patients.
#SMART PILL REMINDER TRIAL#
We’ve looked at smart pill boxes and bottles developed by PillDrill, EllieGrid, AdhereTech, and others designed to help patients remember to take their medicine and inform caregivers when they don’t.Įuclid mHealth’s Pill Connect smart pill dispensing technology allows health services, and pharmaceutical trial investigators including Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) monitor medication adherence in clinical trials. Cost of medication, forgetfulness, and refusal are just a few of factors in nonadherence. This leads to more than 100,000 preventable deaths and $100 billion in otherwise unnecessary medical costs each year. A 2018 study of medication nonadherence at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine found that 40% to 50% of patients with chronic conditions do not follow their prescriptions. Adherence to medication prescriptions is a cornerstone of positive patient outcomes.
