Monitor Adherence 

The Adherence page is where providers may watch patient videos, document information about each dose, and view each patient’s adherence status. Providers may fill all, some, or none of the fields depending on how each client chooses to use the platform. Since data entered into this page are used to populate reports, completing more of the fields will provide more informative reports and exportable datasets.
