Ingestible sensor system for medication adherence as biomarker for measuring patient adherence to medication in clinical trials

Qualification opinion on ingestible sensor system for medication adherence as biomarker for measuring patient adherence to medication in clinical trials

Re-inventing adherence: toward a patient-centered model of care for drug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV.

BACKGROUND Despite renewed focus on molecular tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics and new antimycobacterial agents, treatment outcomes for patients co-infected with drug-resistant TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remain dismal, in part due to lack of focus on medication adherence as part of a patient-centered continuum of care. OBJECTIVE To review current barriers to drug-resistant TB-HIV ...

Toward autonomous harbor surveillance

In this thesis we address the problem of drift-free navigation for underwater vehicles performing harbor surveillance and ship hull inspection. Maintaining accurate localization for the duration of a mission is important for a variety of tasks, such as planning the vehicle trajectory and ensuring coverage of the area to be inspected. Our approach uses only onboard sensors in a simultaneous loca...
