Abstract

The medico-economic implications of poor drug compliance are such that improving the adherence could have a considerable impact in terms of public health. Technological tools from the digital revolution are now at the service of health: the connected health. There are already numerous, more or less sophisticated, and many more are under development. Data from the literature suggest that these tools could provide real benefits including improving patient compliance. The digital revolution has changed our daily lives. It will certainly revolutionize the practice of medicine.
