RE: Medical Undergraduates Annual Scientific Research Meeting (MUASRM); Update On My Mobile Phone Application Research
It is difficult to make people comply with medication, and that is the reality we need to fight against. I remember reading the compliance was as low as 50%, which basically means 1 of every 2 people will not take their medication.
However, your research about the Medication Reminder app could be one step to minimize the problem! The other maybe making patients understand the physiological etiology of their conditions.
With those things, maybe it would be possible to minimize it to 0%?
Nicely done!
On a more non-serious note...
trying to manage your life as a medical student while learning about programming during the weekend can be quite difficult; not quite, extremely difficult
Can relate... lol
Hahaha. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is difficult to make sure people comply with their medication routines but mostly it was due to forgetfulness and medical illiteracy among patients. If they didn't understand the reason why they need to take the medication, they won't commit as much.
Exactly! The typical example I can think of is Old people with cardiac problems and their intake of salt to reduce their cardiac load. We do know about the RAAS system and how it works. But how can you chop it down for a patient? It is a difficult challenge!
