Abstract
The present invention provides a method for monitoring adherence by a patient to a medication. The method comprises the steps of obtaining timing data in respect of each dose of a medication taken by a patient over a time interval, estimating the concentration of the medication in the patient's body over the time interval based on the dose timing data; determining the proportion of time over the time interval the concentration of the medication in the patient's body exceeds a target concentration; and calculating an adherence score for the patient based on the determined proportion of time the concentration of the medication in the patient's body exceeds the target concentration.
