Proof of concept: Pilot Study A Pilot, proof of concept, observational study with a long-term goal to develop a minimally invasive wearable Remote Medication Monitor (RMM) that provides continuous, real-time data on methadone levels in interstitial fluid (ISF). An RMM could be used as a medication adherence monitor and would allow for the physician, counselor, patient, or family member to remotely verify that a physician-prescribed dose has been taken.

AIM 2 : Determine if an RMM can assess the status of taking a prescribed dose of methadone. To complete this aim, the peak and trough concentrations of a witnessed methadone dose will be assessed in dermal ISF collected through the surface of the skin using existing ISF extraction methods and assessed outside the body via with and dermal ISF dialysis tube and external aptamer switch based fiberoptic sensor continuously for 6 hours. Methadone and protein binding factors are independently assessed in the collected ISF samples using (LC-MS and Lateral Flow Assays). We hypothesize that the methadone peak and trough levels in the blood samples will correlate with the levels of methadone in ISF. The Investigators hypothesize that the methadone peak and trough levels in the blood samples will correlate with the levels of methadone in ISF.
AIM 3: Determine if an RMM can continuously assess the status of taking a prescribed dose of methadone over time. To complete this aim, the pharmacokinetic profile of a witnessed methadone dose will be assessed in ISF dialysate continuously from the surface of the skin using the RMM for up to 12 hours (Aim 3a) and over 3 days (Aim 3b). Methadone will also be assessed over these three time points in the continuously collected ISF samples using LC-MS and Lateral Flow Assays. The Investigators hypothesize that a clinician can recognize a dose taken from the RMM generated measurements of dialyzed ISF.
