In a major breakthrough for remote patient care, Tenovi has announced the launch of its new Tenovi Pillbox—the first FDA listed cellular-connected smart pillbox that automatically tracks medication adherence without requiring patients to use apps, WiFi, charging, or syncing.
Medication non-adherence is a critical challenge in healthcare, leading to poor outcomes, preventable hospitalizations, and over $500 billion in avoidable costs annually. Research shows that 80% or more adherence rates are generally needed for optimal therapeutic efficacy. However, it is estimated that adherence to chronic medications is roughly 50%.
Tenovi’s Smart Pillbox Technology
The Tenovi Pillbox is designed to seamlessly integrate into patients’ existing routines. Identical to a standard 7-day morning and evening pillbox, it features built-in sensors that automatically detect when pill compartments are opened or refilled. The smart pillbox adherence data is then transmitted to the cloud whenever the patient is within 30 feet of the included Tenovi Cellular Gateway – no extra steps are required from the patient.
“The Tenovi Pillbox addresses medication adherence challenges by capturing adherence data without disrupting the patient’s existing routine, allowing providers to monitor remotely and intervene before complications arise,” said Dr. Friedman, founder and CEO of Tenovi.
Unlike app-based solutions that require technical skills, the Tenovi Pillbox works automatically out of the box, with visual reminders to promote adherence. The captured data also integrates seamlessly with other companies’ systems via APIs, streamlining remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) Medicare reimbursement under RTM CPT codes 98976, 98977, and 98980.
This breakthrough innovation represents a major step forward in improving medication adherence and patient outcomes. By making remote therapeutic monitoring simple and effortless for both patients and providers, the Tenovi smart pillbox has the potential to transform the way chronic conditions are managed.
