Log Pharma Packaging launches smart packaging

Log Pharma Packaging said today that it is launching its ActiveGuard Connect smart packaging solutions.

ActiveGuard Connect is designed to address the lack of patient adherence to prescription medicine or supplementation of nutraceuticals. It is comprised of an integrated desiccant chamber designed to link and synchronize with a patient’s smartphone.

The smart packaging product enables indication of taken doses, tracks temperature within the bottle and can remind or alert patients as needed.

Log Pharma Packaging said the device enables data analysis based on historical and real-time data to track compliance and enable manufacturers to improve medication and supplement efficiency.

The Frankfurt, Germany-based company plans to unveil its smart packaging solution at CPhI Worldwide 2019 in Frankfurt from today until Nov. 7.

“With only 30-50% medication adherence rate within the general population, ActiveGuard Connect harnesses IoT technology and innovation to deliver a patient-centric solution,” Log Pharma Packaging CEO Ephraim Ulmer said in a news release. “Using smart packaging and active customer engagement has been proven to increase adherence by 23%. We are proud to add ActiveGuard CONNECT to Log’s line of high-quality innovative and smart packaging products for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical markets.”
