  1. A participant medication administration record (MAR) showing the time each dose was administered as determined by the images captured by the eDosette. The time listed for each dose administration is in 24 h time (e.g. 20 = 20 h00 = 8:00 pm) and reflects the time of the image when the blister pack or dosette compartment is noted to be empty or partially empty. In this MAR, the “X” indicates missing images. The mean dose time reflects the average time of a particular dose administration over the 2-week study period, rounded to the half hour. Statistical variance (VAR) in the times for each dose was calculated and reported as well
