Excerpt

Medication adherence is crucial for successful Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment (HAART). Adherence may be divided into execution (how dosing history corresponds to the prescribed drug dosing regimen) and persistence (the time from the first to last taken dose). Medical Electronic Monitoring System (MEMS) monitors record bottle opening events providing a graphical printout of adherence. This can be used to provide positive feedback and correct any perceptual inaccuracies as to adherence. MEMRI assesses the use of such feedback as an intervention to support adherence. The primary endpoint is based on execution. …
