InforMedix Holdings, Inc. , announced that results presented by Dr.
David Bangsberg, an internationally renowned expert on medical
adherence, at the Third International Conference on HIV Adherence,
showed that HIV+ patients using its Med-eMonitor(TM) "smart pillbox"
that monitors medication and care plan adherence, achieved an average
89.5% medication adherence rate. The Med- eMonitor "smart pillbox" is
linked to the Med-eXpert(TM) software system that analyzes patient
information and provides Web-enabled reports and urgent outbound
alerts to caregivers when patients miss medication or suffer declining
health.

Looks like Big Brother has now become a drug pusher. HIVers who
refuse to take their medication will have details of their failure
published on a website, so that family members and loved ones can rush
around to their home with a funnel and force HIV wonder drugs down
their throat.

The full article also quotes Dr. Bangsberg as saying "...complex anti-
retroviral cocktails simply do not work..." Okay, I admit I've
slightly trimmed that quote for my own amusement. Not that that
(don't you hate it when that happens?) should matter to the HIV pill
pushers because they like half-truths.

The idea is good but this implementation won't work because the stupid
gadget doesn't monitor the pill actually being ingested by the AIDS or
TB patient, all it does is record that a pill was removed from the box
at a certain time. A much smarter idea would be to put the HIV or TB
patient in a box and upload a report to the Web if the patient escapes
from the box.
