Systems and methods are provided for adherence monitoring and for monitoring use of consumable dispensers. One embodiment of such a method comprises: receiving from a plurality of apparatuses, data indicative of the dispensing of a consumable by a plurality of consumable dispensers, each dispenser being associated with a respective one of the apparatuses. Each dispenser has the same consumable contained therein. The method further comprises determining that a dose was missed by detecting that notice of a consumable being dispensed at a scheduled date/time was not received in said data. If any one of the dispensers dispenses the scheduled dose, the dose is considered to have been consumed on schedule, and if none of the dispensers dispenses the scheduled dose, the dose is considered to have been missed. |
