AdhereTech
Smart wireless pill bottles that automatically track and improve adherence in real-time
AdhereTech makes smart wireless pill bottles that automatically track and improve adherence in real-time. Their solution is currently used by many of the top firms in healthcare to distribute medications to patients, as well as to monitor patients post-discharge. The value of the solution is that it doesn’t require the patient to perform any new behaviors in order to use the tool, and it delivers real-time interventions directly to the patient and/or caregiver based on the patient’s real-time actions and needs.
AdhereTech bottles measure when the cap is opened or closed, as well as the amount of medication remaining in the bottle. All data is collected and analyzed passively, and the system only intervenes when it’s necessary. The cellular technology allows the bottles to connect from anywhere on the planet and work right out of the box, with no setup needed by the patient.
