OncMAP - R Package to analyze data from electronic adherence monitoring devices for oncology and other medications

Medication adherence, defined as medication-taking behavior that aligns with the agreed-upon treatment protocol, is critical for realizing the benefits of prescription medications. Medication adherence can be assessed using electronic adherence monitoring devices (EAMDs), pill bottles or boxes that contain a computer chip that records the date and time of each opening (or “actuation”). Before researchers can use EAMD data, they must apply a series of decision rules to transform actuation data into adherence data. The purpose of this R package (OncMAP) is to transform EAMD actuations in the form of a raw .csv file, information about the patient, regimen, and non-monitored periods into two daily adherence values -- Dose Taken and Correct Dose Taken.
