The Adherence Measurement Institute is a collective of individuals across the healthcare value chain who are passionate about the need for more precise patient drug dosing data. The philosophy of the Institute is that electronic technologies that passively record the date and time of a drug dosing event provide the most accurate measure of patient adherence and drug exposure.

The capability to electronically measure patient adherence to treatment and drug dosing histories has been available for over 20 years. Academics and research centers were the initial users of these tools for research projects that required more precise knowledge of dosing time than patient diaries and drug counts provide. Over time, Clinical trial project leads incorporated electronic adherence measurement techniques into research projects that they managed. The experiences of the early adopters provide a number of valuable lessons learned that can be leveraged by the pharmaceutical industry as the adoption of electronic measurement of patient dosing continues to grow. The Adherence Measurement Institute leverages this historical knowledge to provide advice to individuals and teams that are designing studies and launching programs that incorporate electronic measurement.

Our service is focused on three groups:

Pharmaceutical Drug Development and R&D Teams

• We help Trial teams understand the cost/benefit trade-offs of using various technologies and help handcraft a measurement solution specifically tailored to the clinical trial protocol
• We work with Clinical Packaging to provide a qualified list of smart packaging and measurement device solutions based on drug formulation and product format
• We work with Clinical Operations to understand how the introduction of a measurement solution will change executional logistics. We provide guidance on how to limit disruptions and drastic changes to existing workflows during clinical trial kit production, inventory management, and patient training and on-boarding at clinical sites
• We help study teams design measurement programs that limit patient burden
• We design solutions that can link various measurement technologies to IT solutions that can analyze data to determine

Commercial Rx Brand Teams

• We help Pharma Brand and Specialty Pharma distribution teams understand the cost/benefit trade-offs of using various technologies and help handcraft a measurement solution that can be executed with the skill-set provided by Specialty Pharmacy.
• We provide guidance on how to scale measurement programs within the US Market by working with multiple specialty pharmacy IT solutions.
• We help brand teams design

Academic Researchers

• We provide advice on selecting the most appropriate measurement solution for your specific research design
• Once a measurement strategy is selected, we will work with our partner network to source a financial quote and other related information required for Research Grant submissions
