The remaining number of doses can then be displayed on a simple digital screen included on the package, or through the use of a connected smart device, such as a phone or tablet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"st-callout hastitle lightblue left\" style=\"width:400px;\" >\n<h4 class=\"st-callout-title center\">Other Articles to Explore<\/h4>\n<div class=\"inside\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewob.com\/amazon-employees-connect-to-healthcare-through-an-app-heres-how-it-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Amazon Employees Connect to Healthcare Through an App. Here\u2019s How It Works.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewob.com\/major-optical-retailers-plan-to-produce-25-new-locations-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Major Optical Retailer\u2019s Plan to Produce 25 New Locations This Year<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewob.com\/new-myopia-management-resource-online-publication-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Myopia Management Resource: Online Publication + Events<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p> Dosage counting and compliance can work in conjunction. Rather than simply reminding a patient of when to take medication, RFID- and NFC-capable smart packaging can be linked to a smart device or health-care provider\u2019s network, allowing doctors to remotely monitor the compliance levels of their patients by building a historic data log of time and date taken, to analyze at a later time.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, writes Overstreet, the package can send real-time alerts to both a health-care provider and patient, informing them of missed doses \u2013 an important feature for seniors, who are often on more than one medication and may struggle with remembering what to take and when to take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology help to boost patient
