Technologies for Medication Adherence Monitoring and Technology Assessment Criteria: Narrative Review.

Background: Accurate measurement and monitoring of patient medication adherence is a global challenge because of the absence of gold standard methods for adherence measurement. Recent attention has been directed toward the adoption of technologies for medication adherence monitoring, as they provide the opportunity for continuous tracking of individual medication adherence behavior. However, current medication adherence monitoring technologies vary according to their technical features and data capture methods, leading to differences in their respective advantages and limitations.

Validation of an Electrochemical Sensor to Detect Cortisol Responses to the Trier Social Stress Test.

Recent advances in sensor technology allow for the detection of salivary cortisol levels in real-time, yet studies are needed to test their reliability in clinically at-risk populations. This study examined whether a new electrochemical sensor reliably detected cortisol patterns, compared to a conventional immunoassay test (i.e.
