Brief description of study

Errors in use of medication patches occurs when more than one is applied which can lead to an overdose or patch poisoning. This is common in patients with dementia and can have serious medical consequences. Detecting errors in real-time can prevent overdose and its complications.

This study is investigating the use of a new technological approach to detect errors or mistakes in patch application in real-time. This innovative approach investigates Bluetooth/RFID chip technology incorporated in a placebo patch and its ability to transmit data to a cloud-based monitoring portal. 

Detailed description of study

This study will investigate the ability of the prototype device to signal to a dashboard, and assess the monitors ability to accurately determine the number of tags on-body. 

Total participation will be up to 3 hours. Participants will be randomized and receive between zero (0) and three (3) non-medicated skin patch (e.g., band-aid) to be placed on their body. Participants will visit a studio apartment-style simulation space where they will engage in scripted activities of daily living (ADLs).
