Specialty Pharmacies

BY INDUSTRY

Pharmacists understand the importance of adherence in maximizing the effectiveness of treatments. At IMC, we share that commitment to patient-centric care and offer cutting-edge adherence solutions designed to detect misuse, manage expensive products, and facilitate collaboration among care teams.

Solutions

Manage Adherence

Adherence to a prescribed regimen is crucial for ensuring optimal patient outcomes. Med-ic®, eCap™, and CertiScan® Adherence Platform work together to track medication consumption and help patients stay on track. CertiScan® can identify aberrant dosing patterns, enabling you to intervene proactively and remotely. We help you support patients in adhering to their treatment plans and ultimately achieving a higher quality of life.

Protect Expensive Product

Many drugs have high costs and complex administration regimens, making effective management of these products essential. Our solutions enable precise tracking of medication usage, ensuring that patients receive the right dose at the right time. With Med-ic®, eCap™, and CertiScan®, you can monitor adherence remotely, manage supply inventory effectively, and optimize resource allocation to maximize the value of your products and minimize waste.

Share Adherence Data

Collaboration among care team members is critical for delivering comprehensive patient care. The CertiScan® centralizes adherence data, allowing specialty pharmacies to share valuable insights with the wider care team. From healthcare providers to caregivers, everyone involved in patient management can access real-time adherence information, enabling coordinated care and informed decision-making. Integration options allow for interoperability with existing healthcare systems.

that Power our Solutions

Med-ic®

The original smart blister package. Breaking a blister records the time and location (i.e. “8:00 a.m.” and “Day 1, Morning”). Med-ic® can be customized to work with any blister design and dose pattern.

eCap™

The superior smart cap. Unscrewing and removing the eCap™ records the opening time. Several diameter and threading options are available to fit all common bottle types.

CertiScan® Adherence Platform

Consumer-quality software for clinical trials. Securely store, analyze, and action the data from smart packaging and other adherence devices. The CertiScan® Adherence Platform includes web portals, mobile apps, developer tools, and a secure, central cloud.

ROI

Our experts have modelled the relationship between statistical power, sample size and medication adherence.

Their findings? For every 1% adherence increase, there can be a 2% reduction in trial size (N) while holding statistical power constant.

Considering that many trials currently only reach 50% adherence, there’s lots of room for improvement – and tremendous ROI.

Direct Savings from Reduced N

Processing a participant is expensive. Requiring a smaller sample size could amount to millions of dollars in savings.

Additional Weeks of Patent Protection

Smaller N means a faster trial, potentially by months. This could amount to tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue.

Compensate for Low or Slow Enrollments

It can be challenging to recruit enough participants - especially for niche diseases and even worldwide. Better data means fewer patients are needed overal.

Use Cases

Accurate data for transformative solutions.

Smart packaging is the ideal data source: it is accurate, automatic, and passive. There is no extra effort on the participant’s part since they were going to take a dose anyways (or not - which smart packaging can also detect!)

This data feeds into the CertiScan® Adherence Platform and other software systems to power numerous solutions.

Safer Research

Inappropriate medication use is widespread in clinical research. This can harm individual participant outcomes, jeopardize trial outcomes, and cause hidden errors that are only discovered post market or after publishing (such as a poorly titrated dosage or undiscovered side effect).

Our solutions make it easy to detect and treat these harmful issues. Many protective features are automatic, such as mobile reminders, misuse alerts, targeted coaching.

Detect and Treat:

Medication non-adherence
Medication misuse or abuse
Temperature exposure and spoilage
Expiry
Tampering, fraud, and other lot or batch issues

Faster Research

Shorter trials that reach their endpoints more quickly can gain weeks or months of additional patent protection. This can amount to substantial additional revenue.

Our solutions help studies reach last dose, last participant sooner.

Improve timelines by:

Automating data collection
Replacing diaries and ePRO with smart packaging
Letting CertiScan preprocess and analyze data
Integrating CertiScan with RTSMs, EDCs, and other platforms
Conducting adaptive trials

More Efficient Research

Clinical trials are becoming increasingly complex and expensive. Certain activities in a protocol seem straightforward on paper, but in practice can translate into dozens of hours of site work.

Use our solutions to help eliminate needless overhead and streamline processes.

Achieve efficiencies and reduce costs by:

Automating data collection
Basing site inventories on consumption rates
Conducting adaptive trials
Conducting decentralized trials

More Innovative Research

New, technology-first strategies are transforming clinical trials. DCTs, participant diversity initiatives, and AI tools are changing from “nice-to-haves” into “must-haves”.

Our solutions are modern tools for modern trials that can help researchers and other stakeholders gain and maintain an advantage.

Adopt CertiScan and smart packaging to:

Meet FDA trial modernization guidelines
Model PK and PD with adherence data
Satisfy internal and external innovation requirements
Build accurate, objective datasets for use in AI models, participant diversity initiatives, DCT tools, and more
Publish unique studies that stand out in the literature
