MEDMINDER: A MEDICINE INTAKE SCHEDULER AND REMINDER

Abstract

Modern healthcare services can be considered as one of the most error prone services due to out-patient
medication administration. The highest numbers of medication errors occur during the acquisition of prescribed drugs
from the pharmacies. Another reason for medication errors occur when the people/patients buy drugs without
prescriptions and/or prescribe the drugs to themselves without any proper guidance or due to somebody telling them that
it helps. In this paper we present an alarm and healthcare management system, which is deployed on android devices.
Now days almost everybody uses mobile devices which they carry with them everywhere they go. In this system we are
also implementing reminders which use alarms. This alarm will be updated over the internet by the use of GCM. This in
turn removes the need of manual input in the system’s medication reminder thus preventing errors.
