Development of a Silica Microparticle Taggant System to Measure ART Adherence

Summary

Developing technologies to help measure and provide tools to support medication-taking behaviors (medication adherence) is an important step to ending the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. TruTag Technologies has pioneered the use of a microparticle system that can be incorporated into the coating of medications may help users both identify the medication they are taking and record adherence events. By using a standard smartphone camera, shining light on TruTag-coated medications automatically identifies them to an onboard smartphone app which then indirectly records the adherence event. This study evaluates the real-world usability and feasibility of operating this system among people living with HIV (PLWH).
