Medication Adherence in Kidney Transplant Recipients Using Automated Reminders and Provider Notification

"The main research instrument is an electronic pill bottle called GlowCaps that has the ability to transmit reminder messages via email, text, and phone to the subject, and adherence data to special servers. The messages will be sent twice a day, if a subject misses a dose of their immunosuppression medication (tacrolimus). Each time the pill bottle is opened (or not opened), a date- and time-stamped wireless signal is sent to the Vitality server via the AT\&T cellular network. No extra cellular or wireless service is required from subjects for the GlowCap to function.~Note: GlowCaps are a Class 1 Medical Device registered with the FDA. Because of this Class 1 designation, they are not subject to FDA testing or approval."
