Medication Adherence System for Chronic Patients by Redesigning of the Medical Blister (SMART-BLISTER)

The goal of the SMART BLISTER project is to study, design and develop a novel smart blister concept based on a passive electronic circuit that will be printed on available blisters with the use of conductive or high resistance one layer inks. A small electronic device will be used to activate the blister and communicate with a central information cloud computing system. The project aspires to develop a concept/device that will have low cost in mass production and can be easily adopted and used in real life. The integrated system consisting of the prototype blister, the activation device and the central information and communication system will inform patient about his/her treatment and provide alert signals in case of a dosage omission, thus increasing the level of medical adherence.
