Medication compliance is a much needed area for patient engagement. Prescribers order and pharmacy benefits pay for medications with no feedback on whether or not the patient is taking the medication as directed. By coupling popular online shopping channels such as Amazon Prime with mail order pharmacies and linked consumer technologies such as Amazon Echo and Alexa mobile apps for smartphones and smartwatches, patients can be incented to respond about taking medications in the moment, the data be summarized and made available to providers and payers to close the medication compliance gap.

Medical education has recently expanded its focus from fact-based medical knowledge to include relationship-based competencies. Our application aims to simulate conditions and symptoms using augmented and/or mixed reality to improve the comprehension and empathetic communication between healthcare providers and their patients/families. With our application integrated into medical education curricula, clinicians-in-training will be better equipped to employ empathy in providing quality interactions.
