Abstract :
Mistaken or wasted medicine has been a problem to Taiwan government, not only the caused worsen condition of patients´ health by mistaken medicine but also, the wasted or thrown away medicine may led Taiwan government medicine expense costly and environment pollutions as well. According to Taiwan government records that, there is more than 130 tons (t) medicine had been abandoned in year 2011. The most obviously reasons for people abandoned medicine are, self-adjusting or self-stopping medicine by themselves; sharing medicine with friends; forgetting or mistiming of taken medicine. In the experiment, we intended to provide a web-based portal to assist patients for searching the medicine side effects information via our dataset of medicine definition or compounds, usage notice, side effects and so on. The dataset contained and integrated from medicine manufactures prescriptions and pictures and two medical centers, which based on Taiwan government provided medicine database, and in addition, the result information from web surfing in the text mapping search engine will also be considered as well. The dataset itself needs to be leveraged and structured as the promise of meaningful use. We consider linking the chronic disease management such as kidney disease and asthma for medicine suggestions between patients and health providers.
