1.1 Motivation:

Medication non-adherence is a widespread issue that significantly affects healthcare

outcomes, especially among elderly individuals and those with chronic conditions. It is
estimated that approximately 50% of patients do not take their medications as prescribed,
leading to worsened health conditions, increased hospitalizations, and higher healthcare
costs. Forgetting to take medications on time, misunderstanding instructions, or simply
losing track of multiple prescriptions can result in severe consequences, such as ineffective
treatment, complications, or even death in some cases.

Despite the growing awareness of the importance of medication adherence, traditional

methods of managing prescriptions, such as pillboxes, manual alarms, or simple reminders,
have proven to be insufficient in addressing the complex nature of medication regimens. As
a result, there is a need for an interactive, customizable, and accessible solution that not
only reminds patients to take their medications but also provides them with comprehensive
information about their treatment plans and health progress.

This project aims to address these issues by providing a practical, easy-to-use tool designed
to support individuals in adhering to their medication schedules and maintaining their
health. By leveraging web technologies, the Interactive Medication Reminder offers a
personalized solution that is accessible, reliable, and secure, making it suitable for users with
varying levels of technical expertise.

1.2 Problem Statement:

Adherence to prescribed medications is a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness of medical

treatments, yet many patients, particularly the elderly and those managing multiple
conditions, struggle to maintain consistent medication routines. Current solutions, including
mobile apps, physical pill organizers, and basic reminder systems, often fall short in terms of
interactivity, customization, or ease of use. These challenges can lead to missed doses,
incorrect administration, and a lack of engagement in health management.

Some common barriers include:

Complexity: Many existing medication reminder systems are too complicated for users,
especially the elderly, to navigate effectively.

Limited Personalization: Many apps fail to accommodate the diverse needs of patients with
multiple medications, offering minimal customization options.

The Interactive Medication Reminder aims to overcome these barriers by providing a web-
based, user-friendly system that is accessible from any device with a modern browser and
customizable to fit individual medication regimens.

1.3 Objective:

The primary objective of this project is to design and implement an Interactive Medication
Reminder system that:

Provides Timely Reminders: Sends notifications to users at specified times to remind them
to take their medications.

User-Friendly Interface: Offers an intuitive platform for entering, managing, and modifying
medication schedules and other health-related information.

Tracks Adherence: Allows users to log and track their medication intake, providing reports
and feedback to encourage adherence.

Secures Medication Data: Ensures the safe storage and retrieval of sensitive medication
details using browser-based storage technologies like Indexed DB or Local Storage.

Pill Information: Offers users detailed information about each medication, including dosage,
side effects, and warnings.

Pill Refill Alerts: Notifies users when their medication supply is running low, preventing
interruptions in their treatment plans.
Health and Diet Tracking: Provides an additional feature for tracking daily diet, exercise, and
overall health, helping users manage their well-being holistically.

1.4 Limitations:

While the Interactive Medication Reminder provides a simple yet effective solution, there
are a few limitations:

Local Storage Only: The current version uses browser-based storage (e.g., Local Storage or
Indexed DB), limiting data access to the device being used. There is no cloud synchronization
in place, which could restrict users from accessing their data across multiple devices.

Single-User Focus: The system does not support multi-user functionality, meaning that
caregivers cannot manage medication schedules for multiple individuals simultaneously.

Basic Reminder Features: The system offers fundamental reminders based on a user-set
schedule and does not yet integrate with wearable devices or external health tracking
systems.
