Electronic Pill Bottle Monitoring to Promote Medication Adherence for People With Multiple Sclerosis

NCT04130256 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 85

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have variable adherence to MS medications, making the full efficacy of disease modifying therapies unrealized and the assessment of true treatment failures challenging. Whereas some patients forget to take medications due to active lifestyles, others may have cognitive impairments that prevent them from organizing and planning their regular dosing schedules. An electronic pill cap ("Pillsy") has been developed to record pill taking, timing, and set reminders through a mobile app. Data on adherence can be captured and analyzed remotely for health care provider review.
