| dc.description.abstract | Non-adherence to medication is a pervasive issue worldwide, affecting 50% of prescription users, resulting in suboptimal therapy outcomes and premature death. One of the key factors contributing to non-adherence is the complexity associated with managing medication regimens. To address this challenge, an automated pill dispenser “SelfMed, your medication partner” has been proposed. This study focuses on studying determinants of medication non-adherence, its ramifications and alternatives available in the market in order to increase medication adherence among adults aged 60 and over. The overarching goal of this research is to evaluate whether digital solutions like SelfMed are required for addressing non-compliance issues in Portugal while assessing their effectiveness over time for our target audience within the marketplace. The research was conducted using primary data collected through a questionnaire distributed to users and care institutions/companies in Portugal (Northern area). According to the analysis, 40% of users and 40% of care companies are interested in obtaining SelfMed to simplify the complex medication management and prescription regimen for the end user. | eng |
