CuePath Innovation, a provider of medication adherence solutions for the home healthcare market, announced that it launched its second-generation suite of medication adherence monitoring products for remote patient care. The release coincides with the company’s critical care initiative with Wellness Pharmacy Group, to provide medication monitoring and adherence support for patients with complex regimens. The program’s goal is to ensure optimal medication adherence for these patients with complex medical conditions, that includes renal and transplant patients.
In the U.S. medication adherence packaging market, blister cards represent the dominant format, with 41.6% of the market. Blister cards have more than double the market share of the other formats. The U.S. blister card packaging market is growing at 7.15% per year, according to Daedal Research (The U.S. Medication Adherence Packaging Market, July 2020). CuePath’s CueSticker™ product is applied to a blister card during the pharmacy’s medication dispensing process to enable real-time adherence monitoring and collection of insightful patient data. It is compatible with the popular brands of multi-dose blister cards, from manufactures including Jones Healthcare and Dispill.
CuePath’s Generation II CueStickers include several improvements, including integration of an IoT device into the CueSticker, integrated diagnostic, improved durability, and improved sensor accuracy.
CuePath’s medication monitoring system enables Wellness Pharmacies to identify the critical care patients that have missed scheduled doses of medication and need timely support. CuePath’s medication adherence monitoring is a virtual service that provides pharmacists and healthcare professionals with unique insights into patients’ medication-taking trends.
Zahid Merali, principal at Wellness Pharmacy Group stated, “CuePath’s Generation II CueSticker™ was simple and easy for us to integrate into the dispensing process for our complex care patients.” Merali continued, “It provides our customers with a better experience because they really feel like we are looking after them, that our service helps them to feel more in control of their treatment or recovery experience.”
“We are proud to team with the Wellness Pharmacy Group for this program,” said Ken Piaggio, CuePath CEO. “As we have heard from their pharmacists, the CuePath product allows the pharmacy greater insight into which vulnerable patients may require extra care and attention to ensure they are taking their medications as prescribed. We provide insights that inform the pharmacist or home care provider wishing to respond a patient’s unique needs,” Piaggio continued.
