Medical therapists often manage medications to improve therapeutic outcomes for their patients. For senior patients who take multiple drugs to manage various conditions, medication adherence is critical. To provide an immersive and engaging medication reminder experience, the authors propose i‐Ware, a smart wearable m‐Health (mobile health) device. The system's hardware and software were co‐designed to meet non‐functional requirements. The model reminds patients to take their medication, and the augmented reality goggles aid those who struggle to manage their medicine. The navigation features help users find their way home, and the audio feature reads out the date and time, useful for patients with low vision. The i‐Ware system has the potential for real‐world application and can significantly improve medication adherence. As an AR‐enabled medicine reminder, i‐Ware is an innovative solution for medication management in senior patients.
