Quand Medication Compliance Software Where Lifestyle Adherence Meets Medication Compliance Quand offers an innovative solution to the problem of medication compliance in three settings: Hospitals and clinics Clinical trials for new prescription drugs Consumer Using a combination of Near Field Communication (NFC) and mobile phone technology, the Quand application becomes the proxy of an attentive medication manager, handling cueing, deferrals, missed doses, and all other complexities for single or multi-medication regimens. To respond to a cue, the patient must at some point bring the correct NFC-tagged medication package into close proximity to the reader, which acts as confirmation that the dose has been taken. With a mobile phone and medication package fitted with an NFC tag, Quand authenticates both the consumer and the medication, eliminating medication error risks. Without any user programming, it immediately links the consumer to tools that oversee safety concerns (conflicts, contra-indications), display progress feedback, provide drug and therapy related information, and open a window to additional support resources or advertising. Using a familiar device that is a daily companion - the mobile phone - allows Quand to focus attention on compliance, and not on technology.
