RelaX
Abstract: Medication management and adherence amongst the sick and elderly population is a growing problem in the United States. Missing doses, improper storage, overdosing, and not taking medications correctly are all issues that could cause harm to a patient who struggles with these issues. Current solutions often involve the reliance on a pharmacist or assistant to fill, store, and sort prescriptions. Additionally, many of them do not track patient adherence, and all of them require a person to manually fill the device. This project aims to solve many of these issues by creating RelaX: a medication management system that can automatically intake and dispense medications, while tracking adherence and providing information for both the patient and their healthcare provider.
