Not taking prescribed medication on time can have serious health consequences. Anyone who cares for someone with a chronic illness for very long will soon realize there is much to be learned about how to organize medications. How about a system that can help several elderly patients at home adapt to the schedule without too much complication? In the proposed type of Electronic Medication System, the caretaker can remind the elderly patient what pills to be taken and when to take upon the caretaker’s command provided the pillbox and the caretaker’s smartphone are in constantly paired.
