In a special program stores data about what the drug when and in what dose has been accepted, and at the same time - what if it were a patient physical indicators (temperature, pressure it.d)

For example, we will know about his alcoholism or HIV-positive status. Sensors installed in already banned the drug, which prescribed to patients with schizophrenia.
