How compliance is measured
What it knows.
Compliance monitoring here means opening events. The cap records when the bottle was opened, and that record is the proxy. This is exactly what the signal covers and where it stops.
02 / Evidence boundary
The proxy, stated plainly
What the signal covers. Where it stops.
Cannot know out of scope
- Whether medication was removed from the bottle
- Whether the correct medication or dose was taken
- Whether a dose produced a clinical outcome
- How many pills remain without another validated system
Limitation
An opening event is not proof that a dose was taken.
