Abstract

The issue of medicine adherence among the elderly population is a growing concern as the prevalence of chronic diseases increases among this age group. Ensuring that the elderly take their medicine regularly and in the correct dosage and frequency can be a challenging task, with various barriers such as forgetfulness, lack of understanding of the medication regimen, and difficulties in accessing healthcare. However, with the increasing use of mobile phone technology in everyday life, mobile phones have the potential to serve as a valuable tool in improving medicine adherence among the elderly. The focus of this project is to develop a mobile application to support medicine adherence among the elderly population. The application will be designed to provide reminders and correct medication use. The project will also explore the barriers and facilitators to medicine adherence among the elderly and will develop strategies to address these issues. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the health outcomes of the elderly population by ensuring regular and correct medication use. By utilizing mobile phone technology, this project aims to make it easier for the elderly to remember their medication schedule. The impact of this project has the potential to be significant, not only in improving the health outcomes of the elderly population, but also in reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of life for the elderly.
