Systems and methods are provided for monitoring medication compliance to allow a doctor or medical care provider to determine whether a subject is ingesting a prescribed medication at the proper times. This can include the capability of remote access to remotely monitor compliance. A medication container includes at least one medication-containing cell, with a cover overlaying the cell. An electronic device including a capacitive touchscreen is electrically coupled to the medication container and programmed to detect whether the cell has been accessed through the cover. The base of the cell may be in capacitive contact with the capacitive touchscreen or there may be an insulator therebetween. An adaptor may be provided to electrically couple the medication container and the electronic device.
