A Mobile Reminder System for Elderly and Alzheimers patients
Mobile technologies is finding a role in patient monitoring in several different environments: homes, hospitals, and nursing homes. mHealth applications include the use of mobile devices in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients, real-time monitoring of patient vital signs, and direct provision of care. Therefore, usability of software applications is the key to success of any system. This study focused on creating an application for smart phones with android system. The main aim of the proposed system is to help two important categories of the society they are elderly and Alzheimers patients, these two categories shared in one recipe which is a forgetful. This system gives them the ability to have small memory can help them to remember all tasks to life, which may contribute to the prevention of progression of the disease rapidly, and the technology is best care because it is not susceptible to forget or to damage. The design of the proposed prototype presented in this study includes reminding them of the dates of their medications and the amount of medicine.
