SBIR-STTR Award

AI Cure Technologies seeks to develop and test the effectiveness and usability of AiView-HR, an automated, population-based medication adherence monitoring system for high-risk, substance abuse populations. AiView-HR will be a significant extension of Ai Cure Technologies' flagship computer-vision product, AiView, incorporating enhanced security sequence elements that will be critical to deploying automated DOT (directly observed therapy) to the high-risk, substance abuse population. Like AiView, AiView-HR will be coupled with a robust web-based dashboard that enables efficient population-based or individual monitoring, review, and intervention of medication adherence.

Under this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project, 'Automating Directly Observed Therapy as a Platform Technology,' under Research Topic 139, the Contractor shall provide and evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of a system for monitoring medication adherence in a treatment setting. In addition to monitoring, an intrinsic component of the system will be an integrated communication platform allowing for intervention and feedback with the user and a measure of the accuracy of the system. Following additional development work on the system, the Contractor will implement the AiView-HR ¿ system in a clinical trial with the objectives of (1) providing a measure of the accuracy of the system, and (2) demonstrating that the system improves medication adherence.
