본 논문에서는 장기투약자의 복약 관리 시스템 개발의 기초 연구로 Textile proximity pressure sensor를 개발하였고, 약통의 무게 감지를 통하여 약의 복용 여부를 판별하는 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 총 2가지로, 약의 개수에 따른 baseline검출 실험과 약 한알의 무게 도출 실험을 수행하였다. 잡음을 제거하기 위해 5 point의 이동평균필터(MAF: Moving average filter)를 적용하였다. 본 논문을 통해 얻은 결과는 차후 장기 투약이 필요한 환자로 하여금 규칙적으로 약을 복용하도록 하여 만성질환의 완치율을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 의약품 복용량의 급증으로, 효과적인 복약 관리가 중요해졌다. 의약품 복약이 제 시간에 이루지지않거나 꾸준히 이루어지지 않는 경우 효과적인 약효를 기대하기 어렵고 부작용 발생 가능성이 증가할 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 AI 를 활용한 알약 인식 서비스를 통해 사용자의 편의성을 높이고, 자동 복용 알림을 제공하여 올바른 복용 습관을 장려할 수 있는 모바일 스케줄러를 개발하였다.

Objectives: This study was performed to analyze the effect of nurse-led education on results for patients with gout. Methods: The face-to-face education was conducted by a specialist nurse. Patient satisfaction and drug adherence, serum uric acid was assessed. Results: Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the nurse-led education group than in the usual care group. The serum uric acid level on the second visit was lower after patient education. In addition, the mean drug adherence in the nurse-led group was significantly higher than in the usual care group on the second and third visits. Conclusion: The nurse-led education about gout improves patient satisfaction, drug adherence, and serum uric acid level in patients with gout.

Purpose: This quasi-experimental study was done to develop image-use medication education for older inpatients and to evaluate the effects on their knowledge, self-efficacy, and misuse of medication. Methods: Fifty nine elders (experimental group - 30, and control group - 29) received medication education once a week for 3 weeks. Data were collected before (pretest), right after (post 1), and 4 weeks after the program finished (post 2). Drug Use Knowledge Scale, Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale, and Drug Misuse Scale were used. Analysis included descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test, repeated measured ANOVA. Results: Findings showed significant differences in knowledge of medication and drug misuse between groups according to time(pretest, post 1, and post 2). At post 1 and post 2, knowledge and self-efficacy levels were significantly higher and misuse scores were lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Findings indicate that elder-tailored medication education consisting of group education and individual guidance with images is effective and practical for medicine safety in elderly inpatients. Moreover, it could lead to a healthier life for elders, even elders with multiple chronic diseases and taking several medications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify factors associated with the stages of change in medication adherence in patients with hypertension. Methods: Participants were 323 patients with hypertension. Sociodemographic/medication-related characteristics, stages of change, processes of change, self efficacy and decisional balance were self-administered. Results: Stages of change were significantly different according to gender, age, job and living arrangement. A multinominal logistic regression analysis has revealed that gender, age, living arrangement, self-liberation, and self-efficacy were significantly associated with the precontemplation stage. Age and self-liberation were significantly associated with the contemplation stage. Gender, age, living arrangement, and self-liberation were significantly associated with the preparation stage. Gender and helping relationship were significantly associated with the action stage. This model explained 52.0% of the stages of change in medication adherence. Conclusion: The tailored intervention strategies based on the stages of change may be needed for improving medication adherence in patients with hypertension.

Although tuberculosis can be recovered if patients take medicine consistently, Korea shows significantly high rate in terms of incident rate and death rate of the tuberculosis patients. Considering such a situation, this paper has developed a smart pillbox that facilitates for patients requiring a long-term administration to take medicine in a regular and consistent manner. The developed smart pillbox is equipped with a load cell that can measure the weight in unit of 0.1g so that it can determine whether or not the medicine is dispensed out of itself. In addition, a software has been developed to determine the status of patient's taking medicine based on the measurement result.
