Sensor-embedded blister packs, NFC chips, and RFID tags are giving clinical trial researchers objective, time-stamped data on when investigational drugs are actually accessed, replacing unreliable self-reported adherence. The piece traces how this shift is improving data integrity and participant safety in decentralized trials, and how the same technologies are migrating into mainstream healthcare through smart dispensers, digital adherence tools, and anti-counterfeit packaging.
