Systems for increasing compliance with a medicament treatment regime

A method for improving compliance with a medicament treatment regime, comprising:

• providing to a patient an extrinsic olfactory stimulus having a reference aroma associated therewith;
• configuring a medicament container such that upon opening of the container an aroma is discharged into an adjacent environment, the aroma corresponding to the reference aroma;
• and
• training the patient to associate the reference aroma with the aroma discharged upon opening of the container such that the patient is reminded of the medicament upon experiencing the reference aroma;
• wherein the medicament container comprises:
• a deformable shell including at least one blister associated therewith;
• a unit of medicament, stored in the at least one blister;
• a rupturable material coupled over an opening of the blister, the rupturable material being configured to rupture upon dispensing of the unit of medicament from the blister;
• a sealant layer disposed between the medicament in the blister and the rupturable material;
• an aroma discharge system coupled between the sealant layer and the rupturable layer, the aroma discharge system containing an aroma generating substance that is substantially isolated from the medicament prior to dispensing of the medicament;
• and
• the aroma discharge system being positioned such that dispensing of the unit of medicament from the blister results in discharge of the aroma from the aroma generating substance.

A method of reminding a patient to timely utilize a medicament, comprising:

• training the patient to associate a reference aroma with the medicament;
• and
• exposing the patient to the reference aroma at an appropriate time of day to thereby remind the patient to utilize the medicament;
• wherein the medicament is contained within a medicament container comprising:
• a deformable shell including at least one blister associated therewith;
• a unit of medicament, stored in the at least one blister;
• a rupturable material coupled over an opening of the blister, the rupturable material being configured to rupture upon dispensing of the unit of medicament from the blister;
• a sealant layer disposed between the medicament in the blister and the rupturable material;
• an aroma discharge system coupled between the sealant layer and the rupturable layer, the aroma discharge system containing an aroma generating substance that is substantially isolated from the medicament prior to dispensing of the medicament;
• and
• the aroma discharge system being positioned such that dispensing of the unit of medicament from the blister results in discharge of the aroma from the aroma generating substance.
