Abstract
A system and a method for medication adherence management with which a medicament container is held by a holding apparatus, a detector device wirelessly recognizes an opening and closing activity of the medicament container, and a data processing device or control device reads and processes data of the detector device.
Claims40
A medication adherence management system comprising:
- a holding apparatus with a receptacle for holding or connecting to a medicament container, and
- a detector device and a data processing device or control device for registering at least one of opening or closing of the medicament container,
- wherein the holding apparatus comprises at least a first element and a second element, which are movable relative to each other for at least one of holding the medicament container and adapting to medicament containers of different size or different shape,
- wherein the second element comprises the detector device,
- wherein the medication adherence management system or holding apparatus comprises a locking device for releasably locking the at least two elements against relative movement, and
- wherein the locking device is able to lock the at least two elements in at least two different positions with respect to each other.
