Microsoft has launched a mobile app that it says will improve patient adherence and help them recognise adverse events.

The software giant says that other features of its new MedicineCabinet app will allow healthcare providers to reduce duplicate or unnecessary medicines and help them spot if their patients have been prescribed inappropriate drugs.

The free Windows 8 app was developed with IT company NextGen Healthcare and allows users to create, store, track and share personal medication records, with the aim of driving patient engagement.
