Lecture overview:
Technological tools are transforming many sectors, including healthcare. As pharmacists, we know that medications work for individuals who take them and for those who generally adhere to their medication regimens. Traditional ways of measuring and improving medication adherence are being informed and transformed by technology, including patient-facing apps and AI algorithms in our healthcare and payer systems. However, many gaps still exist for these technologies to be implemented so they support the effective, equitable, and safe use of medications.

Hear how technology is transforming our approaches to medication adherence, with implications for patients, pharmacists, providers, and payers.

Students, alumni, and faculty in the College of Health Sciences are encouraged to attend this presentation and discussion on an important and emerging area of pharmacy practice.
