The Pharmacy-to-Patient (P2P) drug monitoring : Inventory Management System and App-Enabled Medication Adherence Monitoring System consists of two studies, one to improve management of drug stocking in pharmacies, and another to develop a way to observe compliance to treatment regimens with increased reliability. Drug restocking will be based from data analysis of sales to increase the efficiency of drug flow in the inventory, thus, lessening overstocking of drugs. On medication adherence, a mobile application will be programmed to remind patients to drink their medicine in the right intervals as well as alert and send videos to DOTS representatives for proper checking. The study aims to ensure that the pharmacy will always have enough stock and show the trends of sales of the medicines. Information concluded by experts based on the graphs may lead to better service and improvement of healthcare of patients in the area. The medical adherence application's goal is to allow the patients to take their DOTS medication anywhere. They no longer need to visit the DOTS centers just to drink the medicine. Doctors and health officers will also have less work in checking because they do not need to have set appointments to see the patients personally.
