The rate of compliance in taking multiple doses in Ireland is one of the lowest in Europe.
Researchers at Athlone IT are working on a method of taking multiple medications without having to digest ''cocktails of tablets''.
The idea involves using 3-D printing and a blueprint for customisable tablets that will release drugs over a period of time.
Doctoral candidate Evert Fuenmayor and his supervisor Dr. Ian Major developed the plan which they say will increase compliance and ultimately - life expectancy.
The current rates of compliance in Ireland are between 50 and 70% for those on multiple daily tablets.
