oncmap - Analyze Data from Electronic Adherence Monitoring Devices
Medication adherence, defined as medication-taking
behavior that aligns with the agreed-upon treatment protocol,
is critical for realizing the benefits of prescription
medications. Medication adherence can be assessed using
electronic adherence monitoring devices (EAMDs), pill bottles
or boxes that contain a computer chip that records the date and
time of each opening (or “actuation”). Before researchers can
use EAMD data, they must apply a series of decision rules to
transform actuation data into adherence data. The purpose of
this R package ('oncmap') is to transform EAMD actuations in
the form of a raw .csv file, information about the patient,
regimen, and non-monitored periods into two daily adherence
values -- Dose Taken and Correct Dose Taken.
