An Adherence Management System for Prescribed Injection Regimens

项目摘要/摘要 拟议的项目重点是记录和跟踪自我给药注射药物的方法 旨在提供支持机制，即他们监测药物依从性所需的数据，以及 必要时进行干预。意义：慢性病治疗坚持不力是一个世界性的问题 发达国家的不遵守率平均为50%，这是一个严重的问题。穷 遵守和不遵守与巨大的社会成本相关，占总成本的10% 医疗保健成本，估计在可避免的成本中超过3000亿美元。虽然不遵守协议的支持 机制已被证明是有效的，启动和调整干预措施需要客观和 准确的遵守数据。假设：我们假设一种易于使用且准确的跟踪方法 患者遵守自我注射药物方案将允许护理人员和临床医生提供 提供适当的支持和干预，以提高遵守率。具体目标：证明 拟议的系统在第一阶段，IDL及其协作者将：(1)与专家咨询小组协商，以 建立利益相关者需求(2)建立监控系统原型(3)实施所需的云- 基于基础设施和接口。

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.
