Applying Hybrid Stimulation to Increase the Efficiency of a Medication Reminder
摘要:
Taiwan has become a super-aged society. Due to this phenomenon,the challenges and impact on the health care system are becoming crucial. As a consequence, relevant smart care services and products have been introduced in the market. This research thus focuses on applying the concept of hybrid stimulation to the improvement of efficiency in medication intake notifications.This study designs two scenarios using interactive pill-boxes to measure the response time and user satisfaction to the light and sound notification among elders and young adults respectively. The results of the independent-sample t-test show: (a) there is no significant difference in the response time between the two groups,and (b) there is no significant difference in the response time and user satisfaction for the group of the young adults.
