IMC’s CertiScan® medication adherence software includes the pioneering Morisky scale for medication adherence. Working with the scale in CertiScan is easier, more powerful, and more real-time than other methods. CertiScan automatically delivers questions to patients, handles data management, conducts statistical analysis, and produces actionable insights
Overview
Many professionals consider the Morisky Medication Adherence Scales (MMAS) to be the gold standard of medical adherence questionnaires. The 4-item MMAS 4, and the 8-item MMAS 8 help you assess patient adherence and perform tailored interventions.
CertiScan®is the leading medication adherence solution for smart medication adherence packaging, and it also supports the MMAS. Together, MMAS and CertiScan are a powerful patient adherence solution. The MMAS is a psychological instrument that complements CertiScan’s smart pack and smart dose analytics. And CertiScan is an adherence software platform ideal for delivering and managing survey data.
With the digital MMAS you get high quality data in a cost effective and scalable way. Proactively ensure that your patient population is taking medications as prescribed. Dig into the root causes of medication non adherence, such as side effects, forgetfulness, and other barriers. And only pay for what you use.
Drug development can use the MMAS as part of a clinical trial CRO solution that improves patient outcomes. Public health can use MMAS to track the effectiveness of medication adherence measures. Patient care providers can use the MMAS to guide medication therapy management and chronic disease management.
More Efficient for Stakeholders
Patients fill out the MMAS on their phones, which replaces paper records and transcription. CertiScan stores and analyzes responses automatically and in real-time. Site staff receive powerful charts, graphs, and insights. Surveys are multilingual and patients can respond in their preferred language.
Flexible by Design
You can customize the brand assets (logos and imagery) and clinical information (medication and disease names) per project. You can deliver the survey through CertiScan or embed it on one of your web pages. You can embed graphs from the CertiScan dashboards on your pages, and pull MMAS data from CertiScan using an API. Create custom reports that make billing and reimbursement easier in health care system settings.
Smart Actions
CertiScan automatically surfaces the patients who need the most help while automatically keeping track of the rest. Patient responses guide and inform your actions. The MMAS is powerful because it helps you identify the root causes of non adherence root causes. Use this information to start a conversation, send a follow-up message, or escalate from MMAS 4 to MMAS 8 to get more insight.
Smart Medication Compliance Packaging
If your patients need extra help, consider using the Med-ic® smart blister pack or the eCap™. smart pill bottle. Whether it’s surveys or smart packs, CertiScan will store and analyze all patient data. It gives you a complete and holistic picture of each patient’s adherence.
Live Demo

Use Cases
Accurate data for transformative solutions.
Smart packaging is the ideal data source: it is accurate, automatic, and passive. There is no extra effort on the participant’s part since they were going to take a dose anyways (or not - which smart packaging can also detect!)
Inappropriate medication use is widespread in clinical research. This can harm individual participant outcomes, jeopardize trial outcomes, and cause hidden errors that are only discovered post market or after publishing (such as a poorly titrated dosage or undiscovered side effect).
Our solutions make it easy to detect and treat these harmful issues. Many protective features are automatic, such as mobile reminders, misuse alerts, targeted coaching.
Shorter trials that reach their endpoints more quickly can gain weeks or months of additional patent protection. This can amount to substantial additional revenue.
Our solutions help studies reach last dose, last participant sooner.
Improve timelines by:
Automating data collection
Replacing diaries and ePRO with smart packaging
Letting CertiScan preprocess and analyze data
Integrating CertiScan with RTSMs, EDCs, and other platforms
Clinical trials are becoming increasingly complex and expensive. Certain activities in a protocol seem straightforward on paper, but in practice can translate into dozens of hours of site work.
Use our solutions to help eliminate needless overhead and streamline processes.
New, technology-first strategies are transforming clinical trials. DCTs, participant diversity initiatives, and AI tools are changing from “nice-to-haves” into “must-haves”.
Our solutions are modern tools for modern trials that can help researchers and other stakeholders gain and maintain an advantage.
Adopt CertiScan and smart packaging to:
Meet FDA trial modernization guidelines
Model PK and PD with adherence data
Satisfy internal and external innovation requirements
Build accurate, objective datasets for use in AI models, participant diversity initiatives, DCT tools, and more
Publish unique studies that stand out in the literature
