Research on Chinese Medicine Medication Device and Service Information System Platform

Abstract

Decoction is a traditional form of Chinese medicine, and it has become one of the main dosage forms used in clinical practice due to its precise effectiveness and wide applicability. In order to achieve the best therapeutic effect, the method of taking the medicine at the optimal time is generally employed. However, for the elderly population, especially those with advanced age, it may be challenging for them to adhere to the scheduled medication due to their forgetfulness and inability to take the medicine on time. In this study, we address this issue by collecting various literature and conducting research on existing system platforms. We have designed and implemented a medication reminder service system using a medicine cup. This information platform primarily provides medication and decoction information through an app. The doctors and pharmacists input the information and generate a QR code for storage. This enables patients to easily access their medication and decoction information, reducing the probability of forgetting to take the medicine. Doctors no longer need to personally remind patients about medication timings, contraindications, and other related information. Therefore, this system improves patient satisfaction with medication adherence.
