Abstract

With entering into an aged society, more people need to pay attention to their health and disease. In particular, it is significant for senior citizens with chronic disease to have a medication system because it is related directly to their lives. This study suggested the NFC-based medication management system for elderly patents. By developing a NFC-based medication bottle cap and smart phone application program, the suggested method can assist elderly patients to take medicines properly without missing or abusing them through guidance and alarm, and maintain their health.

노령화 사회의 진입에 따라 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히, 만성질환을 가지고 있는 노인의 투약 관리는 생명과 직접적인 연관성을 보이기 때문에 중요하게 여겨진다. 본 연구는 노령 환자를 위한 NFC 기반의 복약 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 NFC기반 복약 캡 및 스마트폰 응용프로그램 개발을 통하여 고령환자의 올바른 복약 지도 및 알람을 통한 약품 미복용 및 오복용 방지를 통한 건강관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
