Medication adherence is an issue that many
healthcare IT organizations are trying to address.
A combination of engagement by family members
and care givers along with patient education and
identifying inhibitors (such as lack of money to pay
for medication, lack of transportation to pick
up prescriptions, etc.) are critical factors to helping
patients stick to the medication plans their providers
prescribe.
OBJECTIVE
Objective here is to develop a cost effective
solution to help chronically ill patients
remember to take their medications
according to their plan and to report back
to their prescribing physician if/when they
did. Care givers and care coordinators
should have the ability to access this
information to proactively help patients
adhere to their plan.

message is displayed if the patient

the
prescribed
medication for the day
Displays the total calories burnt on a
particular day by the patient
HOW DOES IT WORK
1. Physician feeds the details of the
medication (medicine name and time)
into WristMom
2. Whenever the patient needs to consume
the medicine, the corresponding letter
glows and the WristMom vibrates,
alerting the patient to take the
medication.
3. WristMom demands the patient to
indicate if he/she has taken the required
medicine by tapping on the glowing letter
which eventually turns off the vibration
and the glow
4. The care giver/care taker has access to
the patient’s progress via the app
installed on his/her mobile device. The
care taker also receives a notification
when the patient misses a dose
5. Doctor has the provision to monitor the
patient’s progress online and also receive
immediate updates from the care takers
in case of an emergency
