Abstract

This paper proposes a novel IoT-based Medication Adherence System to combat the pervasive issue of non-adherence among chronic disease patients. This system leverages real-time monitoring and timely reminders to improve medication intake and, consequently, patient outcomes. We delve into the factors behind non-adherence and explore how IoT technology can empower patient education and alleviate medication anxieties. The study emphasizes the significance of proactive interventions in fostering adherence and ultimately improving health for those with chronic conditions. Advocating for a holistic approach that merges patient education, behavioral modifications, and technological advancements, this research proposes a transformative model for chronic disease management. Our findings contribute to the expanding knowledge base on medication adherence and underscore the necessity of collaborative efforts to enhance health outcomes and quality of life for those battling chronic illnesses.
