Abstract

Elderly Home "San Vicente de Paúl" of the city of Atuntaqui (Ecuador), older adults take medicines to treat diseases such as high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, cognitive deterioration, depression, hypothyroidism, gastritis, anemia, among others. The medical staff, because they do not keep a record of the dosage of medications in the pre-established hours, has caused delays, omissions in the same and a decline in their health status. The present research designs and develops an embedded system to control and monitor the supply of medicines through two types of notifications to the medical department: in the first instance, by sending text messages via GSM; in the absence of a response, the second notification is issued by means of a voice call to the nurse on duty in order to safeguard the adequate intake of medicine and comply fully with the treatments prescribed by the doctor and improve the quality of life of the adult higher.
