The bars represent the ability of two groups of elderly individuals to adhere to a twice daily medication-taking regimen assessed using a medication tracking device (inset) that automatically records the time of day when a pill compartment is opened. Those scoring greater than the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval on the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale cognitive subscale (higher scores represent poorer performance) were significantly less able to adhere to the medication regimen. These results suggest the ability to detect subtle deficits in cognitive function using performance on a daily task that is unobtrusively monitored in real time. Data are from Hayes et al [64].
