Online application for simulating intelligent support for medicine intake

Published: 16 July 2008 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we present two contributions around an intelligent ambient system to assist people in adherence to medication prescription. First, we describe a computational model for monitoring medicine intake based on activities of a person, which is an extension of earlier work. Second, we present a web-based application that allows evaluating the benefits of such a model in an intelligent ambient system. We use this application to show the feasibility of an intelligent system for medicine intake support by comparing situations with and without intelligent support.
