eMedonline automates the collection of high quality, detailed data on drug use and delivery from the point of care. It makes it possible to monitor and evaluate drug distribution to patient populations, manage adverse events, identify gaps in distribution, and manage inventories. The technology enhances data quality and supports automation efforts, enabling secure data flow from the dispensation center to the individual user. eMedonline can be implemented in either of two ways: as a standalone software solution, or as an integrated hardware and software solution.

eMedonline was developed by Leap of Faith Technologies with support from the National Cancer Institute for use in clinical trials, and with support from the National Institute on Aging for use in disease management.

How eMedonline Works

A medication scheduler notifies patients at programmed intervals and delivers tailored instructions about the medications being taken based on the patient profile. Patients take the medication as prescribed, and RFID or barcode data on the package is read and sent to the server where it is stored for review, reporting, and modeling.

eMedonline automatically collects time-dose specific data for individual patients—including dosing times, missed doses, and outcomes data—in real time from a single device. The data can be analyzed through the eMedonline clinical interface, or exported for use in other clinical monitoring systems. It provides important information on the medication status of an individual patient, and on the patient population as a whole.
