Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Nov 22;321:114-118. doi: 10.3233/SHTI241074.

ABSTRACT

The existing pill dispenser systems help elderly people to improve their quality of life, and medication adherence. But these systems lack interactive capabilities with caregivers, a crucial element in comprehensive home care management. The suggested CareConnect aims to bridge this gap by introducing a Telecare extension that not only manages medication adherence but also facilitates interaction between the patient and their caregivers. The system is described in terms of this new approach, the functions, hardware and software. The operation of the system is briefly described. A discussion about the advantages of CareConnect system and the future development directions is finally done as a conclusion.
