How does mSMART work?
Since the adherence barriers and struggles experienced by individuals vary, the mSMART app delivers personalized behavioral interventions to each individual, as a list of strategies that the individual must focus on and practice. It uses innovative, getting-to-know-you types of brief engagements and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions to target the most critical barriers and offer relevant strategies and advices to overcome them. mSMART also offers a unique camera-based medication dose logging feature that not only helps manage complex regimen prescriptions, but can also provide greater tracking assurance to you, your doctor and your loved ones.
