## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The proposed project focuses on method of recording and tracking self-administered injectable medications
designed to provide support mechanisms the data they need to monitor adherence to medication regimes and
intervene when necessary. Significance: Poor adherence to treatment of chronic diseases is a worldwide
problem of striking magnitude with nonadherence rates among developed countries averaging 50%. Poor
adherence and nonadherence are associated with significant societal costs comprising up to 10% of total
health care costs, estimated to be upwards of $300 billion in avoidable costs. While nonadherence support
mechanisms have been shown to be effective, the initiation and tailoring of interventions require objective and
accurate adherence data. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that an easy-to-use and accurate method to track
patient adherence to self-injectable medication protocols will allow caregivers and clinicians to provide
appropriate support and interventions to increase adherence rates. Specific Aims: To prove feasibility of the
proposed system in Phase I, IDL and its collaborators will: (1) consult with an expert advisory panel to
establish stakeholder requirements (2) prototype the monitoring system (3) implement the required cloud-
based infrastructure and interfaces.
