Validation of the Sensal Health MyAide
Article in Pharmacy (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundElectronic monitoring adherence devices (EAMDs) are increasingly being utilized in various healthcare settings to track medication adherence.
objectiveTo determine the accuracy of the Sensal Health MyAide™ Smart Doc in capturing dose removal from the vial, specifically the time of dose removal and the number of pills removed for each actuation of the device.
methodsThis validation study compares the device's recording of dose withdrawals from a prescription vial by simulated patients against reference documentation reported using MS Forms by the participants. Three participants completed a 4-day study consisting of two non-consecutive 1 h sessions per day encompassing six actuations from the prescription vial to be captured by the Sensal Health MyAide™ Smart Dock after their informed consent was obtained. Statistical analysis included percent agreement and Cohen's kappa assessing agreement between user-reported data and electronic measurement data recorded by the MyAide™ Smart Dock. Outcome measures included confirmation of the specific user, time of dose removal (±1 min), and the number of pills withdrawn.
resultsThree subjects were recruited to provide data for a total of 144 actuations. The study found perfect 100% agreement across the number of pills withdrawn and specific users withdrawing the pills and 99% agreement for the time of administration. The Cohen's kappa values for the outcome measures were 1.00 (95%CI [1.00, 1.00]) for the number of pills dispensed and specific user and 0.993 (95%CI [0.990, 0.996]) for the time of administration.
conclusionsThis study found that the Sensal Health MyAide™ Smart Dock can accurately record the time of administration, the number of pills dispensed, and the identity of the user dispensing the pills.
