The extent to which patients follow agreed upon prescription is referred to as ‘adherence to medication’. Non-adherence may lead to disease progression, a lower quality of life, and more hospital visits, among other consequences.

The future of smartphones is getting way more ahead with the trend of foldable screens. The market of foldable smartphones got a boom after Samsung presented a prototype of their new smartphone for 2019. Samsung’s foldable Galaxy X offers two screens: one that is a typical smartphone size and another that converts the device into a tablet when unfolded. Foldable phones resemble old flip phones that won’t differ much from the ones we use right now. The concept is to assemble a smartphone and a tablet into one framework. A foldable device runs much like today’s smartphones that provide the user with a large screen experience.
