This article describes the development of an electronic prototype to organize medications - the Electronic System for Personal and Controlled Use of Medications (Sistema Eletrônico de Uso Personalizado e Controlado de Medicamentos, SUPERMED). The prototype includes a drawer containing 1 month's supply of medicines, sound and visual medication timers, and a memory card for recording the times when the box was opened/closed (scheduled and unscheduled). This information is later transferred to a computer. Evolutionary prototyping was used to develop SUPERMED with the Arduino platform and C programming. To read alarm and box opening/closing data, software was developed in Java. Once the alarms are programmed (ideally by a health care professional), no additional adjustments are required by the patient. The prototype was tested during 31 days by the developers, with satisfactory functioning. The system seems adequate to organize medications and facilitate adherence to treatment. New studies will be carried out to validate and improve the prototype.
本文介绍了一种用于整理药物的电子原型——个人和受控用药电子系统（Sistema Eletrônico de Uso Personalizado e Controlado de Medicamentos，SUPERMED）的开发情况。该原型包括一个装有一个月药物供应量的抽屉、声音和视觉用药定时器，以及一张用于记录药盒打开/关闭时间（计划内和计划外）的存储卡。此信息随后会传输到计算机上。使用Arduino平台和C编程通过进化原型法来开发SUPERMED。为了读取警报以及药盒打开/关闭数据，用Java开发了软件。一旦设置好警报（理想情况下由医护人员操作），患者无需进行额外调整。开发者在31天内对该原型进行了测试，运行情况令人满意。该系统似乎足以用于整理药物并促进治疗依从性。将开展新的研究以验证和改进该原型。
