The World Health Organization cites that compliance to a prescription medicine regimen is one of the most critical issues to the continued health and wellness of elderly people. [1] Extensive data also show that particular elements in the activities of daily living affect compliance. The areas frequently identified for solutions are primarily a result of studying at-home environments and experiences. As people live longer and healthier lives, elders are able to spend more time being active outside of the home. Creating a system to remind and motivate towards medication adherence can be a key factor in keeping an elder safely in his/her home and community. The following paper will describe the collaborative efforts between Intel's Digital Health Group and the Industrial Design program at Georgia Institute of Technology. Qualitative research methods were employed for this project. To better understand the current and future needs of active and mobile elders. The research was conducted in a 12-week time frame by seven industrial design graduate students. A multi-method research approach consisting of questionnaires, photo journals, and collaging exercises were used to understand the problem spaces and offer subsequent solution concepts. Initial findings have shown that participants performing short-term, outside the home activities (<3 hours from home) do not change a person's regimen or require specific products to aid compliance. Understanding these current behaviors also helped uncover latent needs for possible technology and systematic solutions. Prior to the start of this project, a team of researchers at Intel focused on ways to improve the quality of life in elders. [2] In conducting extensive ethnographic research on elders, it was noted that medication compliance is more than just a medical problem. Although it has long been recognized by the medical profession that taking medications is a key marker of the ability to live independently [3], hearing this from many informal interviews emphasized the subjective importance of this activity to elders and family. In addition, noncompliance costs the US healthcare system $100 billion per year. [4] Reports have shown that noncompliance to medication regimens range from 13% to 93%, with an average rate of 50% for long-term therapies. [5] Noncompliance is a particular problem for the older population. It is recognized that compliance itself is not necessarily the problem, but the consequences of noncompliance with the older population typically results in greater health complications and higher risk of adverse health effects. [6] Almost 30% of hospital admissions, and 40% of nursing home admissions for patients older than 65 years are due to noncompliance. [7]
