Abstract

European countries are facing a population widespread ageing. The percentage of third age inhabitants is becoming higher, specially in rural areas, where older adults demand special services in order to improve their life, notably when they live alone. This way, some tasks like medicine management can be a very hard day-to-day challenge. In this paper, Remembranza Pills is introduced. This is a platform that supports elderly at daily medicine takes using Alexa. The system reminds users the medicines and pills that have to be taken in each moment of the day using a web platform to manage the prescriptions. In this manner, medical staff and relatives can keep control over consumed doses.
