Cypak - Medication adherence global standard.

PRESS RELEASE
3 November 2009

The 11073-10472 international standard for medication adherence monitoring has passed the final ballot in IEEE with a 97% majority vote in favour. Cypak has led the effort for two years and would like to acknowledge the significant contributions from many other organizations, in particular the Continua Health Alliance, National Health Service (UK), Kaiser Permanente, Partners, Ascension Health, Philips, Roche, Intel, Pfizer, A&D Medical, Panasonic, Tunstall, and many others.

Cypak also acknowledges the valuable contribution of the Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council for Europe (www.hcpc-europe.org). "The unique expertise of HCPC in understanding compliance helped us bring the standard to a higher level and with confidence that we address the key issues", remarked Chris Johnson.

Chris Johnson, Cypak Vice-President, further commented: "International standards open the way for large scale solutions to address the problem of medication compliance. We know that many patients do not adhere to their prescribed medications and usually we do not know who they are and why they do not comply until they arrive in a hospital or care home. A standard for medication monitoring enables more people to live outside institutional care and will enable a better understanding of the efficacy of different therapies. Device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies benefit by having a standard platform on which to build the solutions of the future." 

Per Nathanaelson, Cypak CEO, added "Cypak delivers key modules conforming to international standards and Continua Health Alliance guidelines. Our platform helps manufacturers build standards based products for both vital sign monitoring and for medication adherence and with the lowest cost in the industry. Cypak solutions are designed to be integrated in conventional pharmaceutical packaging, intuitive, easy to manufacture and easy for non-technical people to use."
