Abstract: A system for tracking medication compliance includes a blister pack, a blister pack tray, an end user computing device, and a communications cloud. The blister pack is modified with conductive ink for transmitting data relating to medications stored in the blister pack. The blister pack tray is adapted to receive the blister pack and to receive data transmitted from the blister pack. The end user computing device is adapted to mechanically connect to the blister pack tray, whereby the end user computing device is configured to receive data relating to medications stored in the blister pack, and wherein the computing device is configured to run software to identify changes in the status of medications stored in the blister pack. The communications cloud includes a medication compliance tracking server and a medication compliance tracking database.

Abstract: The methods and systems according to the present invention overcome the high-frequency radiation and thermal interferences on an electrochemical sensor combined with long range radio communication. A Faraday cage is used to shield the sensor from the radiation in one embodiment. In another embodiment, a controller is installed between the sensor and the antenna to deactivate the antenna emission when the electrochemical sensor is conducting measurement. To control thermal interference, the temperature rise is controlled. The battery temperature is monitored and charging cycle is controlled. The temperature rises can also be avoided via intermittent use of the radio, heat sink strategies to direct heat away from the radio circuitry, and radio module construction designed to minimize heat emission.
