Schreiner MediPharm Wins FINAT Award for its Smart Blister Card
Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based global provider of innovative functional label solutions for the healthcare industry, won a prestigious award for its Smart Blister Card from the European Association of the Self-Adhesive Label Industry (FINAT), which recognizes the industry’s best products. The Smart Blister Card, which extends standard multi-dose blister packs by a digital adherence monitoring tool enabling tracking of medication intake in real time, received the top honor in the “Innovation & Electronic Printing – Electronic Devices” category.
In the case of polypharmaceutical applications (permanent therapies involving the simultaneous prescription of several medications), pills are frequently filled into standard blister packs by hospitals and large pharmacies so that patients can take them according to their medication plans. However, physicians and pharmacies typically have no way of tracking whether and when patients have taken their medicines. Schreiner MediPharm’s Smart Blister Card tackles this challenge by enabling digital medication adherence monitoring.
