  • Abstract
    Despite numerous available devices and applications for to-do-lists and alarms, none of them manage to fulfill the role of an efficient medication enforcement system. As medical emergency and even accidental deaths are caused by wrong medication administration are constantly on the rise, there is a growing need for effective medication enforcement architecture. Our work addresses the two most pressing unresolved problems identified in our literary and on-files studies: permanent reminder enforcement and medication schedule adherence. The proposed architecture is validated by a hardware implementation of a wearable device with ample autonomy and powerful alerting features.
