IoT in Medication Management and Adherence
Keywords:
IoT, medication adherence, smart pill dispensers, healthcare software, cloud integration, AI in healthcare, embedded systems.Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) uses smart devices to increase medication adherence. Medication non-adherence continues to plague healthcare, resulting in poor outcomes and higher costs. Wearable sensors, smart pill dispensers, and real-time monitoring help patients take medications (Aldeer et al., 2018). Such devices track intake and alert caretakers or physicians about missed doses. Safe data storage, predictive insights, and remote monitoring are achieved via cloud computing, mobile apps, and AI-driven analytics. The gadgets assist patients in following treatment plans. Healthcare workers may provide more personalized and efficient treatment using IoT technologies. IoT will improve medication adherence, improve health, and cut expenses.
