HELPING HAND (HH)
The Most Precise Medication Monitoring
System for Trials
Helping Hand is a specially designed plastic sleeve that works in tandem with blister packs to provide an effortless way to monitor adherence. Its innovative and participant-centric design has made it a preferred solution for pharmaceutical companies seeking to enhance adherence and minimize the risk of trial failure. Whether conducting a large-scale clinical trial or a small pilot study, Helping Hand is the perfect tool to ensure patients take their medications as directed every time.
Helping Hand's efficacy is further amplified by its integration with our medication monitoring system, MEMS AS®. Together, these solutions create a comprehensive approach for measuring and managing adherence. By blending the user-friendly interface of Helping Hand with the analytical prowess of MEMS AS, investigators can access real-time adherence insights that allow them to identify and address adherence concerns before they escalate.
FEATURES
Real-Time Medication Monitoring.
Helping Hand offers an all-in-one solution for clinical researchers to monitor medication adherence by facilitating connectivity with our proprietary Medication Adherence Software, MEMS AS. The user-friendly software includes pre-built dashboards and ranked lists that enable researchers to track adherence patterns by participant, site, and study. With these valuable insights readily accessible, researchers can proactively identify adherence issues and take appropriate measures to help participants.
- Fully Scalable
- ISO27001 Certified Datacenter
- HIPAA & GDPR Compliant
- IRT, EDC & DCT Integration
FEATURES
Guaranteed Accuracy and Reliability.
In comparison to traditional adherence monitoring methods such as pill count, self-report, and PK sampling, our approach provides exceptional accuracy and a range of additional features that distinguish it from the rest. Our research has demonstrated that tools like the Helping Hand achieve an impressive 97% accuracy rate in tracking and collecting participant medication events, whereas PK sampling can only attain 70%, pill count 60%, and self-report a meagre 27%. With our cutting-edge medication solutions, researchers have access to highly precise data that informs safety and efficacy calculations, empowering them to make informed decisions about patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Medication monitoring is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of successful research. That's why we've gone the extra mile to gather and organize the most frequently asked questions about this critical topic. Our goal is to empower researchers and patients alike with the knowledge they need to ensure medication adherence is never a hurdle to progress. So, without further ado, here are the answers you've been looking for!
A medication monitoring system is a technology-based solution that helps track and manage medication adherence. These systems use various methods, such as electronic pill bottles or blister packs, to monitor when a patient takes their medication and provide reminders if doses are missed. Some medication monitoring systems, like AARDEX Group’s, can also transmit data to researchers or trial coordinators, allowing them to track adherence remotely and intervene if necessary.
Medication monitoring systems are like having a GPS navigation system for a road trip. Just as a navigation system helps guide drivers along the route and alerts them if they make a wrong turn or take a different route, a medication monitoring system can guide patients through their medication regimen and alert them if they miss a dose or take the wrong medication. Additionally, just as a navigation system allows the driver to track their progress and make adjustments along the way, a medication monitoring system can provide data to researchers, allowing them to track adherence and intervene if necessary to keep the trial on track.
To date, AARDEX Group’s technology has been deployed in over 1,000 clinical trials.
