Aeon: A Smart Medicine Delivery and Inventory System for Cebu City Government’s Long Life Medical Assistance Program

Abstract

Cebu City government’s Long Life Medical Assistance Program aims to deliver and supply maintenance medicine to its qualifying beneficiaries. The process is done manually resulting to certain problems such as: (1) lack of evidences that the beneficiaries received the medicine intended for them; (2) inventory monitoring of medicines distributed; (3) and shortage of medicine supplies. In line with these problems, a web and mobile application called Aeon is designed in partnership with the Cebu City Government’s Long Life Medical Assistance Program. The web application efficiently monitors the medicine supplies complemented with predictive restocking notifications to know if an incoming shortage of medicine will occur. In the study, the mobile application utilizes Facial Recognition and Global Positioning System to track and validate deliveries of medicines. The study used Agile Software Development Method in order to deliver the expected outputs. A usability survey was conducted and majority of the respondents are satisfied with the features of the system. Moreover, 87% of the respondents indicated that they prefer using the system over the manual process and would recommend the use of the system for the Long Life Medical Assistance Program.
