Oral Drug Delivery Systems: Continuous-Release Systems

187
Continuous-release drug delivery systems offer a strategic approach to maintaining therapeutic drug levels over extended periods following oral administration. By modulating the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients, these systems minimize fluctuations in plasma concentrations, which enhances clinical efficacy and reduces the need for frequent dosing. Such characteristics make them particularly advantageous in managing chronic diseases where patient adherence and stable drug...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

4.1K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.6K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wearable Technology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Medication non-adherence leads to severe patient outcomes, including hospital readmissions and complications.
  • Current adherence monitoring methods, like smart pill bottles, have limitations in accuracy and scope.
  • Accurate assessment of medication adherence is crucial for effective patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel system for assessing medication adherence.
  • To improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of medication adherence monitoring.
  • To differentiate pill ingestion from other actions like drinking or speaking.

Main Methods:

  • A smart necklace equipped with a piezoelectric sensor was developed to detect neck movements associated with swallowing.
  • Bayesian networks were employed to classify different actions, including pill ingestion, drinking, speaking, and saliva swallows.
  • The system was tested on 20 subjects, classifying 135 instances of various actions.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved an average precision of 90.17% and recall of 88.9% in classifying different actions.
  • The piezoelectric necklace accurately distinguished between medication swallows and other related actions.
  • The proposed system demonstrates high accuracy in detecting pill ingestion.

Conclusions:

  • Experimental results validate the accuracy of the piezoelectric necklace for detecting medication swallows.
  • The system effectively disambiguates swallowing from other common actions.
  • Further real-world studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of this novel adherence monitoring scheme.
