Despite multiple advances in medication treatments for behavioral health conditions, outcomes continue to be poor for many given that on average only 50% of prescribed medication is actually taken. This session will provide information on the latest technologies to improve medication adherence and follow-through. Drs. Velligan and Sajatovic will outline problems with poor adherence, describe the latest technologies and how they can be applied in real-world settings, and identify caveats in the use of the new technologies.
