Description: Medicom can help users take their medication according to their specific needs by tracking the user’s symptoms daily. Medicom can collect, store and visualize data conveniently for both patients and healthcare providers. The data collected provides information on patient’s physical activity level, sleep quality, medication adherence, and blood pressure. Studies show that half of all patients do not take their medications as prescribed, more than one in five new prescriptions go unfilled, and compliance is lowest among patients with chronic illnesses. The MediCom project seeks to increase patient accountability by providing a comprehensive, intuitive, and interactive multi platform experience for patients to view and track their health data on computers, tablets, and smartphones. The data is presented in user-friendly charts for patients and doctors, facilitating more informed decision-making regarding medication usage and effectiveness. The devices used for this goal are FitBit, MEMS Pill Cap, and blood pressure monitor.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that by using this method of health tracking, physicians will be able to better calculate the medication dose on a personal basis based on side effects. Physicians will be able to tell their patients more easily what the most effective medication will be under their specific circumstances.
Status: The first version of Medicom has been developed including backend web and mobile app.
