Baltimore-based emocha Mobile Health is partnering with the city of Baltimore’s Health Department on a pilot program to improve medication adherence, particularly among tuberculosis patients and the monitoring that comes with it.
Health Data Management reports that the health department will use emocha’s medication adherence app, miDOT, to hep TB patients stay on track with their regimen while also remaining compliant with CDC-required directly observed therapy, meaning a clinician must actually be present to see the patient take the medication for at least six months.
From Health Data Management:
“Patients use emocha’s HIPAA-compliant smartphone app, miDOT, to record themselves taking their medication at their own convenience. miDOT captures symptoms and securely submits the video to the emocha server, where a clinician can then observe and confirm adherence on the emocha web interface”.
The company was spun off in 2013 from technology developed at the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education.
