Smart solutions for blister packs and kit boxes for medication adherence monitoring in clinical trials

Smart Packaging – Intelligent Tool for Therapy Control

Tablet blister with integrated electronics for digital therapy control.

Adherence to medication regimens is critical to the success of a clinical trial. However, up to 50 percent of study participants do not adhere to the prescribed dosing regimen. The consequences are inaccurate results and delayed market introduction. Schreiner MediPharm's smart packaging solves this challenge and increases medication adherence in clinical trials: Integrated electronics, sensor technology and NFC technology turn standard medication packaging into smart blister wallets and smart kit boxes, for example for vials, syringes or pens. Combined with the appropriate software this results in a modern tool to electronically measure, document and analyze prescribed medications.
