Frequently asked questions

Medication adherence simply means taking your medicine as prescribed by your doctor. This includes taking the correct dose at the right time and refilling prescriptions in a timely manner.

The problem is that it can be difficult to maintain. Up to 50% of people miss doses regularly for one reason or another. Poor adherence can have a negative impact on your health. It can prolong your condition or complicate it. The key to adherence is consistency—it often requires a good support system to help keep you on track.

You can learn more about adherence here.

Aidia is a smart adherence system designed to help people like you stay on track with medication dosing schedules. This system uses smart bottles and devices to alert you to your scheduled dose time, tracks if you have taken your dose, and reminds you if you are late or have missed a dose.

Aidia also provides friendly support that can help change settings and even connects you to your pharmacy team or care support for refill assistance or additional care.

Nothing. Your Aidia System is likely sponsored by the manufacturer of your medication or healthcare organization, which allows us to deliver this service at no cost to you.

An hour before your dose time approaches, your Aidia device will give off a blue glow as a gentle reminder. Take your medication at any point during this time and your reminders will stop. At your scheduled dose time, Aidia will briefly chime and a reminder text or phone call will be sent. The alerts will end once you open the bottle and take your medicine.

Want to personalize or change any of these features? Call your Aidia Specialist or pharmacy to adjust your reminder notification settings.

If you or your loved one misses a dose, reminder alerts kick in. Reminder alerts (chimes, texts, and/or phone calls) are designed to make sure that a dose is taken as soon as possible.

Just call your pharmacy or contact an Aidia Specialist. We can update your dose times, pause reminders, and personalize your device or phone settings. Simply call the number printed on the bottom of your Smart Bottle or the top of your Smart Cap for convenience.

Reminder alerts are just that—reminders—sent by Aidia to help you stay on time with your medication dosing. At your scheduled dose time, your Aidia device will briefly chime. You will also receive a text or phone call. The alerts will end once you open the bottle and take your medicine.

Reminder alerts are connected to when and how you engage with your Aidia device. So, let’s say you open the bottle close to your scheduled dose time, your reminders will be deactivated until your next dose time.

An Aidia Specialist can help you with that. Give us a call to add a caregiver phone number within minutes.

In certain instances, your Aidia Smart Bottle may not come with your medication inside. If that is the case and your medication comes separately, simply transfer the contents of your prescription bottle into the Aidia Smart Bottle.

Keep and refer to the pharmacy prescription label for your medication directions of use and any other medication details that you may need to refer to, like the medicine’s Patient Prescribing Information.

That may occasionally happen as pill sizes vary. But it’s not a problem. Simply leave the pills that do not fit in the Aidia Smart Bottle in the original prescription container. Transfer the remainder into your smart bottle when you are running low.

The best time to transfer your pills is at dose time when you have opened your Aidia Smart Bottle.

When you receive your refill, transfer the medication into your Aidia Smart Bottle. Wait until your next scheduled dose time to make the transfer, since opening the bottle will be counted as taking a dose—and that may throw off your schedule.
