随着医学和制药科学领域的最新研究，越来越多的药物被发明出来治疗许多致命疾病，这使人们能够活得更健康和更长寿。因此，药物使用率正在增加，特别是在老年人中。重要的是，医生开的药是在一天中正确的时间和正确的剂量服用。这似乎是老年残疾人遇到的一个重大问题。由于健忘或其他问题，许多老年患者在适当的时间没有服用正确的药物或正确的剂量，这降低了治疗的益处，增加了医疗保健成本和死亡率。为了找到解决这个问题的办法，开发了一种移动的手机和基于云的智能应用程序，以提高患者的依从性，特别是老年残疾人。开发的应用程序的新奇在于使用云服务，以老年残疾患者和医生之间的反馈形式提供双向通信，以便监测患者的药物依从性。移动的应用程序开发人员应该发现，为残疾老年人开发的基于移动的电话的药物提醒应用程序是一个有用的示例应用程序，它应该有助于他们为残疾老年人开发其他移动的应用程序。
With the latest research in the fields of medicine and pharmaceutical sciences, an increasing number of drugs are being invented to cure many fatal diseases and this has enabled people to live healthier and longer. Consequently, the rate of medication usage is increasing, particularly among the elderly. It is important that the medication prescribed by doctors is taken at the correct times of the day and in the correct dosages. This seems to be a significant problem encountered by older people with disabilities. As a result of forgetfulness or other problems, many older patients either do not take the correct medicines or the correct dosage at the appropriate times and this reduces the benefits of treatments and increases both healthcare costs and the mortality rates. In order to find a solution to this problem, a mobile phone and Cloud-based smart application has been developed to improve patient adherence, particularly for older people with disabilities. The novelty of the developed application is the use of a Cloud service to provide two-way communication in the form of feedback between the older patients with disabilities and the doctors so that the medication adherence of the patients can be monitored. Mobile application developers should find the developed mobile phone based medication reminder application for older people with disabilities a useful example application, and it should help them in developing other mobile applications for older people with disabilities.
