Personal Medication Monitor
Abstract
Many elderly healthcare patients are required to enroll in assisted living facilities because they are not able to manage their complex medication regimens on their own. This restricts their ability to live independently and places a considerable burden on caregivers and the healthcare system in general. This Project concerns the development of a system that implements Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and remote monitoring technology to manage medication schedules. The goal of the system is to reduce medication noncompliance, and allow eligible patients to live independently. The resulting prototype is a device that performs two essential functions: (1) to provide notifications and assistance to the patient when medication is to be taken, and (2) to provide passive monitoring of the patient’s compliance to a remote caregiver.
Demonstration
