Your statement does seem to be supportable regarding meds. I did some consulting for a physician friend and as we analyzed why patients chose to visit doctors, the want/need of a prescription was looked at...Patients already know in many cases that they will want/need certain meds and need the Dr. for a script. (I brought to his attention that while he is highly regarded by some, others simply see Drs to attain a prescription which they already know they want/need.)
Monitoring drug usage was discussed because of this... Patients do in fact tend to undermedicate over a longer period of time.

Was the rep you spoke with male or female? I noted that there was a high percentage of females calling on this Dr. Coincidence or part of their marketing strategy?

Most prescriptions for 30 days are refilled every 45 days. If the beeper reminds people to take the meds look at the increase in sales that will bring to the pharmas. Think about this, you have a patient that forgets to take his blood pressure med and you can write a script for a med that comes with the ALR Reminder?
