1. An apparatus comprising:
an overlay configured for operative attachment to a blister pack, the blister pack configured to dispense medication from each of a plurality of blister pockets configured to contain the medication, the overlay comprising:
a plurality of geometric pattern conductors disposed on the overlay, each of the plurality of geometric pattern conductors aligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of blister pockets when the overlay is operatively attached to the blister pack so that at least a portion of the geometric pattern conductors are broken when the medication is removed from the corresponding one of the plurality of blister pockets creating an open circuit in the geometric pattern conductors,
a plurality of connecting conductors disposed on the overlay that are electrically coupled to the plurality of geometric pattern conductors and configured to detect the open circuit in the plurality of geometric pattern conductors and identify which of the plurality of geometric pattern conductors has been broken, wherein the plurality of connecting conductors interconnect at least some of the plurality of geometric pattern conductors with one another, and
processing and storage circuitry disposed on the overlay configured to detect the open circuit and store a time when the open circuit is detected, to create adherence data.
