Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based global provider of functional label solutions for the healthcare industry, has partnered with Keystone Folding Box Co. to introduce a new smart blister pack with especially child-resistant, senior-friendly features. Ideal for clinical trials, the new solution utilizes integrated electronics to convert blister packaging into a real time e-diary for capturing dosing history data.
 
Schreiner MediPharm has developed a smart extension for the Key-Pak wallet for oral solid dose medication, an offering from U.S.-based Keystone Folding Box Company. The customizable blister wallet combines a child-resistant paperboard package with technology for digital adherence monitoring, enhancing clinical trial reporting accuracy.
 
Schreiner MediPharm has added electronic functions to Key-Pak for medication adherence monitoring with numerous benefits. The Key-Pak wallet integrates conductive trace-patterns linked to each of the wallet card’s cavities and data is generated when the patient removes a dose from the wallet. The details, such as time and date of dose removal and specific cavity location, are stored within the electronics inside the package, and can be transmitted by means of NFC or Bluetooth technology for precise patient compliance tracking. 
 
There is also an option to send medication dosing reminders to patients, and to adjust therapy plans as needed. 
 
Key-Pak can be customized to any clinical trial and its dosing scheme, such as the number of cavities, blister arrangement, and varying pill shapes.
