Abstract

Drug-delivery technology has come a long way since the handmade tinctures, lozenges, and pills of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Today, a new generation of smart pharmaceuticals offers the potential to monitor and improve self-management of chronic conditions, enhance adherence, and tailor treatment more precisely to the patient. Smart pharmaceuticals also offer the opportunity to collect an unprecedented breadth and depth of metadata, such as medication adherence and compliance with technique, and the correlation of these factors with cost-effectiveness and clinical efficacy outcomes. This metadata brings key knowledge at point of care and may facilitate consultations between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), improve allocation of increasingly pressurized health resources, and optimize service design. There is also the potential to use these data as a healthcare monitor. Ultimately, the hope is that use of these data will optimize therapy and overall patient care.
