“…In the prototype [31], the controller initiates each round of exchange with the scheduler by calling one of the scheduler API functions GetNextActionO and ActionCompleteO, passing as an input parameter the current time. As the function names indicate, the controller calls the former to query the scheduler for action(s) it should take at the current time.…”

iMAT is a system of automatic medication dispensers and software tools. It is for people who take medications on long term basis at home to stay well and independent. The system helps its users to improve rigor in compliance by preventing misunderstanding of medication directions and making medication schedules more tolerant to tardiness and negligence. This paper presents an overview of the assumptions, models, architecture and implementation of the system.

Medication errors have been identified as one of the most problematic issues in modern health-care systems. Patients are responsible for most of the intake mistakes. The most common are wrong medications (different that the ones prescribed) and administration of medications out of date, under or over doses due to erratic intakes. This paper presents SapoMed, a mobile health (m-Health) application for medication administration management. In the recent years, with the advent of mobile technologies, m-Health systems are able to provide healthcare anytime and anywhere in a pervasive way. SapoMed is a medication intake diary that tracks and manages all the prescribed medication aiming to prevent medication errors. Through visual, audio, and vibrating alerts, SapoMed keeps users aware of their medication schedule. The application allows users to register medications through the mobile phone camera to capture the barcode available at the medication boxes. It makes use of Web services to consequently retrieve all the medication information and posology. Furthermore, it uses the same Web services to save past intake medication and their intake records. The proposal was evaluated and demonstrated through a solution created for Android OS and it is ready for use.

“…We refer to these devices (and systems) collectively as UCAADS (User-Centric Automation and Assistive Device and Systems). Smart medication dispensers, autonomous appliances, service robots and robotic helpers described in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] are examples. These devices aim to improve the quality of life and self-reliance of their users, including elderly or functionally limited individuals.…”

Abstract. EMWF (Embedded Workflow Framework)is an open source middleware for flexible (i.e., configurable, customizable and adaptable), usercentric automation and assistive devices and systems. EMWF 1.0 provides a light-weight workflow manager and engines on Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Linux. It is for small embedded automation devices. EMWF 2.0 also provides basic message passing and real-time scheduling mechanisms and workflow communication facility. This paper describes EMWF 1.0 and extensions in EMWF 2.0, as well as case studies on workflow-based design and implementation as motivations for EMWF and the extensions.
