The Netherlands-based company focuses on the development of smart pharmaceutical packaging solutions that contain microchips which enable the monitoring of a patient's therapy compliances. The new system will help both patients and nurses taking part in clinical studies to take their pills at the right time. Caregivers and pharmaceutical companies will be able to better diagnose or judge the effectiveness of medical care. This can help to substantially reduce healthcare costs.
Tony de Vrught, Vice President DSM Specialty Packaging said that they are looking forward to combining logical knowledge in packaging in Life Science and Material Sciences by opening up interesting perspectives in innovative packaging applications.
