Design of a context-aware model to enhance medication adherence.
Medication adherence is important to patients who suffer from chronic disease. Regular medication activity reduces the cost of caring disease and prohibits the worsening of disease condition. To support patients taking medicine correctly, we developed a medication assistance system which alarms medication situation through multimedia messages and help patients to take a medicine. To enable the system copes with various situations related to a medication service, we designed a medication context model and implemented a state based context aware application. We also applied our system to patients and saw a little improvement in medication adherence.
