Smart medication systems are used to help older people, and the professionals and family who care for them, to organize and manage their daily drug regimes. However, synthetized knowledge on previous studies about how these improve everyday life is needed. We searched the PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SocINDEX and Cochrane library databases from 2005 to 2019 and this review focused on nine of the 2,424 papers we identified. According to our analysis, smart medication systems make it possible to regulate medication times and doses and detect medication errors. With further development, smart medication systems could be more be effective at preventing medication errors, improving medication adherence by older people and freeing up healthcare professional, so that they can focus on other tasks. However, more research on different systems is needed to improve existing solutions and to understand how they can make older people more independent when it comes to their daily medication.
智能药物系统用于帮助老年人和照顾他们的专业人员和家人组织和管理他们的日常药物治疗方案。然而，需要综合之前关于这些系统如何改善日常生活的研究知识。我们检索了 2005 年至 2019 年的 PubMed、Scopus、CINAHL、PsycINFO、SocINDEX 和 Cochrane 图书馆数据库，本综述重点分析了我们确定的 2424 篇论文中的 9 篇。根据我们的分析，智能药物系统可以调节用药时间和剂量，并检测用药错误。随着进一步的发展，智能药物系统可以更有效地防止用药错误，提高老年人的用药依从性，并使医疗专业人员腾出时间，专注于其他任务。然而，需要对不同的系统进行更多的研究，以改进现有的解决方案，并了解它们如何使老年人在日常用药方面更加独立。
