Medicine Reminder Application

Abstract

Today, many people forget to take their medications on schedule. Resulting several medication reminder applications, but most of them share a general limitation that users need to enter their medication information and schedule by themselves which can lead to an erroneous medication information, especially elderly users. To eliminate the critical data entry error, our proposed application retrieves the user’s medication and schedule by scanning the QR code. This application is not only able to automatically remind users to take their medication on schedule but also provides the basic and crucial medication information. Moreover, it also keeps track of a user’s medication-taking history over time, so the physician can modify the medication schedule in order for the treatment to be as effective as possible. The evaluations demonstrate that QR code mitigate the seniors’ errors by 42%. Additionally, all medical professionals confirm that our medication-taking report is crucial and very helpful
