使用手机应用程序进行药丸识别以评估药物依从性和上市后药物监测
Pill Identification using a Mobile Phone App for Assessing Medication Adherence and Post-Market Drug Surveillance
摘要：
目的：药物不依从性是临床实践和研究方法论中的一个重要因素。有许多衡量遵守的方法，但没有公认的遵守标准。在这里，我们进行了一项软件研究的有用性和有效性的手机应用程序来衡量药物的依从性，使用照片的药物和自我报告的健康措施的手机应用程序。结果如下：应用程序询问参与者“是否有助于跟踪您的药物”，他们的回答表明92.9%的人认为应用程序“您是否每天都使用此应用程序”以提高他们的药物依从性。该应用程序还询问受试者是否“每天都会拍摄他们的药丸”。63%的受访者表示，他们每天都会使用该应用程序。通过使用收集的数据，我们确定每天使用该应用程序的受试者更有可能遵守规定的方案。结论：药丸照片是一个有用的措施，遵守，允许更准确的时间措施和更频繁的遵守评估。考虑到移动电话的普遍使用，以及这种依从性测量方法的相对容易性，我们认为这是一种有用且具有成本效益的方法。然而，我们认为使用手机拍摄药丸照片的“手动”性质具有个体差异性，需要一种“自动”方法来减少数据不一致性。
英文摘要：
Objectives: Medication non-adherence is an important factor in clinical practice and research methodology. There have been many methods of measuring adherence yet no recognized standard for adherence. Here we conduct a software study of the usefulness and efficacy of a mobile phone app to measure medication adherence using photographs taken by a phone app of medications and self-reported health measures. Results: The participants were asked by the app 'would help to keep track of your medication', their response indicated 92.9% felt the app 'would you use this app every day' to improve their medication adherence. The subjects were also asked by the app if they 'would photograph their pills on a daily basis'. Subject responses indicated 63% would use the app on a daily basis. By using the data collected, we determined that subjects who used the app on daily basis were more likely to adhere to the prescribed regimen. Conclusions: Pill photographs are a useful measure of adherence, allowing more accurate time measures and more frequent adherence assessment. Given the ubiquity of mobile telephone use, and the relative ease of this adherence measurement method, we believe it is a useful and cost-effective approach. However we feel the 'manual' nature of using the phone for taking a photograph of a pill has individual variability and an 'automatic' method is needed to reduce data inconsistency.
