Improving Subject Compliance with Smart Pill Bottles
According to the American Heart Association, 12% of patients never fill their prescriptions,
12% fill them but do not take them, and 29% start taking them but stop prematurely. Only
47% take them all (1).
Improve Outcomes: e-pill reminders increase adherence from the current level of 50% up to 90%+
Reduces Cost: Adherent patients are healthier and less expensive to care for. Pill vial / pill bottle reminders are an inexpensive alternative.
Easy to Use: Minimal set up for patients, and the smart e-pill bottle works for liquids and oral solids (pills of all sizes).
Clinical Studies: Compliance by subjects in clinical trials can be much improved with even the simplest of e-pill Medication Reminders.
