Software Advice Vendor Showcase: Medication Compliance Tools

Abstract

In this presentation, you’ll find descriptions and images of most of the medication compliance management technologies highlighted in Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Consumer Engagement With Healthcare and Wellness, 2016 (available for Gartner clients).

While Gartner’s report does not single out specific vendors, we’ve researched some sample products with the functionalities mentioned in the Hype Cycle so mental health care professionals can see these solutions and evaluate whether their patients would find them helpful.

Mobile phone application

Patient portal

Home TV messaging system

Electronic pill box

Electronic pill bottle cap

Mobile Phone Application Example: MyMedSchedule

This smartphone app allows users to enter their medication and dosage information, schedule reminders and then set “push notification”-style alerts when it’s time for the next dose.

Patient Portal Example: eClinicalWorks

Patient portals are secure websites that allow patients to submit prescription refill requests. A study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research shows patients with portal access are more likely to stick to their prescribed medication regime.

Home TV Messaging Example: IndependaTV

IndependaTV is software embedded in LG Smart TVs. This lets users program reminders throughout the day for important events or daily routines. These alerts pop up on the screen whenever it’s time to take a medication.

Electronic Pill Box Example: SIMpill

This electronic pill box that tracks a patient’s medication intake. If they miss a dose, the patient or an assigned caregiver (e.g., family member) receives a text message alert in real time.

Electronic Pill Bottle Cap Example: eCAP

This electronic pill bottle cap is designed to fit a standard medication vial. The embedded software records every time the cap is opened. When it’s time to refill a prescription, users can download compliance data and see it on a mobile device.
