Medication Adherence Tools Team
About the team
For our research into Medication Adherence Tools, we drew on both the Tech-enhanced Life team and a panel of expert advisors who were kind enough to provide guidance and advice, especially about what to focus on, the questions that mattered, and clinicial scenarios to consider.
The team is led by Dr. Richard Caro, PhD physicist and co-founder of Tech-enhanced Life.
Our advisory panel contains experts with a variety of different perspectives on the topic of medication management and older adults. Professional competencies in the team include physio-therapy, occupational therapy, gerontology, pharmacy, care management, dementia-care, aging services, and technology.
While the expert panel gave us invaluable guidance, if it turns out we have made any errors, Tech-enhanced Life is solely responsible for those.
