Abstract

From traditional alert systems based on applications or text messages to MEMS (Medication Event Monitoring System), up to technologically advanced systems such as the so-called "smart pills", and those printed with 3D technology containing sensors capable of regulating the gradual release of the active substance based on the patient's health, the article offers a brief review of the experiences of applying digital health to improve adherence to drug treatment.
