[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem (200-character limit including spaces)

Using AI to scan the pills and automatic setting the calendar to remind.

[GENERAL] Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?

Yes

[GENERAL] If YES, please describe what the dependency is and why you believe it is essential for your project’s delivery. If NO, please write “No dependencies.”

because it is a health app so it depends on a health organization.

[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?

No

[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

Because it is a health app, so the app need a health organization to cover. So when it's a open source it can make something worst.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

We are excited to propose a cutting-edge health app that leverages advanced AI technology to revolutionize medication adherence and support individuals with chronic conditions.We found that:

• The average non-adherence rate is 25%.
• Patients who were adherent with treatment survived significantly longer, ie, 1462 of 31,439 (4.7%) adherent patients died, as compared with 1317 of 15,408 (8.5%) patients with suboptimal adherence.
• 49.6% of patients mentioned forgetfulness as one of the major non-intentional reasons for non adherence.
• 50% of people with a prescription for a chronic condition like cardiovascular disease stop taking it within the first year.
• Between 41% and 59% of mentally ill patients take their medication infrequently or not at all.
• Patients who had recently experienced a myocardial infarction took key medicines intended to prevent further cardiac events only 35%–50% of the time.
• The problems mainly occur in older people (35+) and people with a history of diseases such as mental illness, myocardial infarction,...

Our app introduces a unique pill-scanning feature powered by artificial intelligence, enabling users to effortlessly capture and identify their medications. This innovative functionality seamlessly integrates with a user-friendly calendar system, generating personalized and timely reminders for medication intake. Beyond simple reminders, our app serves as a comprehensive pill management tool, allowing users to maintain an organized list of their prescribed medications. Furthermore, the app offers a journey tracking feature, enabling users to monitor and record their medication adherence over time. This valuable data can be shared with healthcare providers, fostering a collaborative approach to patient care. Recognizing the importance of a connected healthcare ecosystem, our app facilitates direct communication with the user's doctor, promoting real-time engagement and enhancing the continuity of care. By combining AI-driven pill identification, intuitive medication management, adherence tracking, and seamless communication with healthcare professionals, our app aims to be a transformative solution in promoting consistent medication adherence and, ultimately, improving health outcomes for individuals managing chronic conditions.
