Mevia provides intelligent solutions to improve the quality of medical treatments. This is done by supporting and enabling people to take the right medication at the right time. This helps improve adherence, which is one of the greatest obstacles to successful medical treatments.

Missed medication and adherence is a huge challenge globally for healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies alike. Up to $289 billion is spent on missed medication and adherence issues in the U.S., and the global pharmaceutical market’s revenue loss is estimated to be $564 billion owing to medication non-adherence, according to the IMS Health Institute.

Mevia has created technology, enabled by Aeris® IoT Solutions platform, which can be adapted to work in blister packs, pill dispensers, and pill pouches, providing patient support and personal adherence feedback in real-time.

For Mevia’s part, the company is trying to make it as easy as possible for the user to take the right medication dose at the right time. What Mevia does is add printed traces onto packaging so when a consumer takes out a pill they are breaking a trace. The trace feeds into an electronic device so that when the consumer takes any pill out of the package, Mevia knows exactly which one it is and when it is taken out.

Mevia then uses GSM, CDMA and LTE networs provided by Aeris to send this data in real-time from the package into Mevia’s information technology system, which can connect instantly with a patient, doctor, care giver or relative in any form of communication that they prefer, including short message service, email, phone calls or push notifications via mobile app.
