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.
我们开发了一种装有仪器的药盒,称为MedTracker,它可以持续监测药物依从性。该设备通过提供移动性、频繁且自动的数据收集、关于不依从和用药错误的更详细信息以及7天药店药盒的熟悉界面,对现有系统进行了改进。我们报告了MedTracker的设计以及在39个家庭中进行的现场试验结果,以评估该设备。
