A Smartwatch-Driven Medication Management System Compliant to the German Medication Plan

摘要

Medication adherence is an important factor for the outcome of medical therapies. To support high adherence levels, smartwatches can be used to assist the patient. However, a successful integration of such devices into clinicians' or general practitioners' information systems requires the use of standards. In this paper, a medication management system supplied with smartwatch generated feedback events is presented. It allows physicians to manage their patients' medications and track their adherence in real time. Moreover, it fosters interoperability via a ISO/EC 16022 data matrix which encodes related medication data in compliance with the German Medication Plan specification.
