Definition
Programs that call, send emails, texts and/or other direct communications in order to contact patients to remind them to take their medication. Also included are automated reminder systems, usually part of home automation systems, that can prompt about taking medicine as well as other activities such as doctor's appointments, turning off the stove and locking doors over an intercom. Other systems can remind users at home or away from home to take their medicine, and how much, by using an alarm wristwatch with text message and medical alert.
