Summary
Wearable devices (WDs) show promise in improving medication adherence across various diseases. Further research is needed to integrate these technologies into clinical practice for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Wearable devices (WDs) have advanced from fitness trackers to sophisticated health monitors.
- Their role in healthcare, specifically medication management, is an emerging area with potential to improve patient adherence.
- A comprehensive review on WDs and medication adherence is lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review on the impact of WDs on medication adherence.
- To summarize research findings, outcomes, and challenges in this field.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review adhering to PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase databases (2010-2022).
- Included empirical studies on WDs and medication adherence.
Main Results:
- 18 studies were identified from 657 articles.
- WDs show diverse applications in enhancing adherence for Parkinson disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.
- Studies categorized into: correlation with adherence, detection of medication-taking, and integrated management systems.
Conclusions:
- WDs hold significant potential for enhancing medication management and adherence.
- Further real-world validation and research into predicting adherence using WDs are necessary.
- Integration challenges remain, emphasizing the need for personalized strategies using WDs data.

01:30Pulse rhythm
768
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...

3
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...

559
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

773
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
