Mobile sensing to improve medication adherence: demo abstract

Abstract

One of major challenges in chronic disease self-management is the lack of medication adherence. Despite the proliferation of mobile technologies, the potential of using pervasive computing solutions for improved medication management has remained almost unexplored. In this paper, we present a smart-phone based system capable of delivering adaptive activity-aware medication reminders by learning the user's activity of daily living and detecting the most appropriate and effective timing for medication reminders centered around the initial user-specified schedule.
