Pill Connect
Catch non-adherence while there's still time to fix it.
Pill Connect spots when a participant's dosing slips and alerts your site team while they can still act. You get a clear record of what happened and what was done about it.
How it works
A feedback loop that runs in the background.
Pill Connect closes the loop between a patient deviating from the protocol and a site team knowing, without adding a task to anyone's day.
The patient
Patients just take their medicine.
Each pill is dispensed with a button press. This makes data capture and recording automatic and means the time-stamp represents the live event of the patient dispensing and is confirmed by sensors watching the pill eject.
Explore the dispenser →The data
The data moves on its own.
It leaves the bottle automatically so there's nothing for the patient to open or manually sync with. Remote, continuous per-pill, real-time data on exactly how patients are dispensing, without asking them to do anything beyond dispense the pill.
The site team
Your site team just supports patients.
When dosing slips, an email reaches the team that needs this information, with exactly what happened and when. No dashboards to police, just an alert to reach out when it matters.

The resultProblems caught while there's still time to act, and a clear record of every one we found and what was done about it.
Adherence you can't see is risk you can't price.
If adherence isn't caught as it happens, you find out at database lock, when a working drug can look like a failure. By then the cost is fixed: the participant is non-evaluable and the endpoint is compromised, with no second study to fall back on in the single-pivotal-trial era.
Why real-time matters →However the trial plays out, you have a record.
If we never alert you, it's because your participants stayed on track, and you have a documented record that adherence held. Most trials cannot show that at all.
If we do alert you, you get a record of every problem we surfaced, the action your site took, and the dosing that followed. Set that against what a single non-evaluable participant costs to replace in your therapeutic area, and the return is clear. Without it, neither outcome leaves you anything to show.

Clinical Use & Study Design
Is Pill Connect suitable for use in clinical trials and launched drug programs?
Yes. Pill Connect is suitable for use in clinical trials as well as launched drug programs where objective medication adherence data is required for patients or participants dosing at home.
Is Pill Connect suitable for decentralized or hybrid clinical trials?
Yes. Pill Connect supports decentralized and hybrid clinical trials by enabling medication adherence data to be collected remotely, without requiring participants to attend site visits solely for adherence monitoring.
How does Pill Connect compare to pill counts or patient diaries?
Pill Connect provides objective, time-stamped dispensing data, reducing reliance on indirect adherence measures such as pill counts or self-reported patient diaries, which can be incomplete or inaccurate.
What adherence data does Pill Connect collect in a clinical trial?
Pill Connect records dispensing events, including the date and time each individual pill is dispensed, as well as bottle swap events. This data can be used to support medication adherence analysis during a clinical trial.
