Poor medication adherence is a serious medical problem, particularly in older adults. Various solutions have been developed to remind people to take their medications, but these systems are usually simple time-based alarm systems that are not particularly effective. We describe a system that is context aware, and that utilizes information about past patterns of behavior plus the current context to provide prompts at the appropriate time and place. A case study from our initial deployment of the system to eleven older adults illustrates the possibilities and advantages of context aware prompting systems.
用药依从性差是一个严重的医学问题,尤其是在老年人中。已经开发出各种解决方案来提醒人们服药,但这些系统通常是简单的基于时间的警报系统,效果并不特别显著。我们描述了一种具有情境感知能力的系统,该系统利用过去的行为模式信息以及当前情境,在适当的时间和地点提供提示。我们将该系统初步部署到11位老年人身上的案例研究,说明了情境感知提示系统的可能性和优势。
