Abstract:
The invention relates to simple yet effective systems and methods for inducing patients to take their medications, without the need for outside prompting, and without the need for electronic medication dispensers. Instead, the new systems and methods use simple medication dispensers with unique markings to motivate the patients to take their medications based on voluntary actions to obtain a reward, e.g., an intermittent reward. In addition, the new systems and methods allow the collection of user data, all volunteered by the users.
