The benefits of Western medicine have evolved tremendously, with a wealth of tests and medications to treat many conditions. But remembering to take medication or perform a test regularly, consistently, and at specific times can be difficult for elderly people with short-term memory loss, or teenagers absorbed in activities. With mobile devices becoming our constant companions, could a smartphone or tablet offer a solution?
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has created a simple tool making it possible for anyone who has a computer and Internet access to create a reminder app. It is easy, quick, and powerful. In this project, you will build a medicine-reminder app that employs a phone or tablet to remind its user to take action. It is up to you to customize the app and make it work for the user(s) of your choice.
