Medical Technology Electronic Pill Minder

Exhibitor: Desmond Chua Supervisor: Richard Cocks – Medication non-compliance, the failure to take drugs on time in the dosages prescribed, is as dangerous and costly as many illnesses. Studies have shown than non-compliance causes 125,000 deaths annually in the United States, leads to 10 to 25 percent of hospital and nursing home admissions, and is becoming an international epidemic. It is, in the words of The New York Times the world’s “other drug problem”.

This thesis is to investigate situations where self-medication is the only acceptable choice yet the risk of error is significant. It will discuss about possible solutions to improve medication non-compliance. If medication non-compliance occurs, medication personnel/family members will be informed.

This thesis discusses about the development of Electronic Pill Minder – EPM. It is a product, which will hold the medications, and inform user the time of medications. If missing medication occurs, it will inform medical personnel or family members through the usage of GSM network.
