Evidence

Evidence — performance tests, certification and field use

What was tested, against which standard, and what it did not show.

01

Performance testing

01.1

Every Run Passed the Marks Set Before Testing.

409 of 410 dispensing attempts were sensed correctly — every tablet dispensed and every attempt that released nothing, bar one.

12test runs — 4 moulded devices, 8 mm and 6 mm tablets, indoor and outdoor daylight
12 of 12runs met both pass marks set before the test — dispensing ≥ 83%, sensing ≥ 96%
409/410dispensing attempts sensed correctly — tablets dispensed and attempts that released nothing alike
4 of 4devices fitted four different commercial bottles; pairing to the app was immediate

Each run emptied a commercial bottle with a desiccant sachet inside, scored at the beginning, middle and end of the bottle — 360 tablets in 410 dispensing attempts. 50 of those attempts released nothing.

Of those 50 empty attempts, not one was recorded as a dispense — including 14 in outdoor daylight, the worst case for an infrared sensor.

And what it did miss

The sensor missed 1 tablet of 360 — in one run, mid-bottle; that run still scored 97% against the 96% mark. We state it as a count: a count is checkable, and at this sample size a rate would claim more than the data supports.

01.2

Twelve Runs, Two Pass Marks, Every Run Passed

Twelve runs on four moulded devices, two tablet diameters, indoors and in outdoor daylight, against pass marks written down before the first run.

Mean across twelve runs, against the pass mark
Dispensing — pass mark 83%87.9%
Sensing — pass mark 96%99.8%

Dispensing ranged 83.3% to 96.8%; sensing was 100% in eleven runs and 97% in one.

Zero stuck tablets across roughly 360 dispenses. All four devices fitted four different commercial bottles, and pairing to the app was immediate.

Certification

02.1

CR Certified: Belt and Closure, Each Tested on the Device

Belt and closure certified separately — the closure on seniors first, then the packages they resecured.

Two years of development and certification went into the CR belt — Coledy’s own patented locking article. It is what holds the device to a bottle it was not made for, and it is certified on its own senior and child panels. The closure is an established design: the cap threads onto a polycarbonate device body, not an HDPE neck.

Two certificates, one device

The CR closure and the CR belt were each certified as a separate article, both tested on the connected device. A new container or bottle shape is re-certified; we share the method and our test experience.

Certificates and full test reports are shared in the data room.

Belt panels ran Sept–Dec 2024; the cap was applied at 8 inch-pounds, rested 72 hours, and tested Oct 2024 – Jan 2025. Tested and certified at an ilac-MRA accredited laboratory (ANAB). Full reports on request.

CR belt manual — the test articles' instructions

  1. 1

    Remove: place two fingers on top of both side buttons and push them down until gaps appear

  2. 2

    While holding them down, push the round button below the blue triangle — the belt detaches

  3. 3

    Attach: align the blue triangle on the device with the centre of the bottle

  4. 4

    Align the round button with the triangle and push the belt up — it clicks when secured

  5. 5

    Push the bottom of the belt up — a second click when it locks

Field results

03.1

Where Adherence Drifts, Visible Only Dose by Dose

Same drug, same protocol, the same months — each dot is one verified dispense, plotted at the hour it left the bottle.

Tight · Device 01

Tight · Device 01

Jun 2022 – Oct 2023. Seventeen months at nearly the same hour — a series this regular is itself a signal.

Drifting · Device 02

Drifting · Device 02

Jun 2022 – Oct 2023. Dispensed every day, but the hour wanders across the working day and back.

Scattered · Device 03

Scattered · Device 03

Jul 2022 – Aug 2023. Same pills, no pattern — and the record thins where the others stay dense.

All three look adherent to a refill record, a pill count or PDC. The hour of each dose exists only because a device recorded it.

Real patients, not a simulation — one once-daily HIV medicine, a cohort at a major university hospital, June 2022 to October 2023. Vertical axis: time of day.

03.2

No Dose Record Lost, 17 Months on One Battery

Patients with HIV used the device in daily life, June 2022 to October 2023 — logging spans read from our own management platform.

Logging span per patient, months
Patient 0117 mo
Patient 0217 mo
Patient 0317 mo
Patient 0414 mo
Patient 0514 mo
Patient 0613 mo
Patient 0712 mo

Patients who used the device for a year or more. Shorter spans ended when patients stopped using it, not when the battery ran out.

No dose record was lost

The device stores events locally and backfills them the next time the app connects.

Sized between a cap and a dispenser

Larger than a cap-only sensor, far smaller than any motorised unit, and usable in the field. The shorter 75 cc bottle is now supplied — the length complaints were about the bottle.

Single-tablet dispensing verified

Early builds could release more than one tablet in a single event. The tooled valve since: zero stuck tablets across ~360 dispenses, 99.8% sensing.

IRB-approved single-centre study at a major university hospital. The trial drug was an elongated tablet on a larger bottle — the large-opening valve build.
