Smart Packaging
To remember:
Classify: active (product), intelligent (data store), connected (patient)
Connected: digital device, shelf-life, alarm system, symptoms, to GP
- Near field communication: digital tags for GP, compliance, shelf-life
Compliance: child proof, patient confidence, cypak, DDSI wireless, toviaz, burgopak
Overt: colour change ink, QR code
RFID: fixed frequency band detected
Disadv: tech malfunction
What is smart packaging?
- packaging that has advanced technology
- perform additional functions
- not just act as packaging alone
- doesn’t have to be digital or electronic
How do we classify SPs?
Into 3 macro-categories differing on functionality
Active packaging
o Interacts with the product
o Improving quality and shelf life
o improves quality and shelf life
o e.g. when it comes into contact with light, the packaging will become darker
intelligent packaging
o collects data to communicate back to supplier
o with sensors to detect the quality of the product
o e.g. a chip
connected packaging
o enables the customer to interact with the product
o e.g. QR code to give you details about the medication
types of SPs
- connected pharmaceutical packaging
- compliance encouraging packaging
- anti-counterfeiting packaging
- eco-friendly packaging
What is connected pharmaceutical packaging? Uses?
- Supports the patient and Healthcare professional interact with the medication
- Connected to digital devices including smartphones
- Real-time monitoring and interaction with the medication
- Can monitor shelf life and gather information on the product
- and patient compliance with the medication
