Older adults tend to suffer from multi-morbidity, requiring complex treatment methodologies demanding poly-pharmacy. The increasing medication usage can tend towards the mismanagement of prescriptions and irregular or faulty administration. Thus, there arises an urgent need for a proper pill management system for these prescribed medicines. To tackle this grave concern, we propose a mobile, cost-effective, robust, and easy to use solution involving the extension to the human body-smartphones and conductive stickers. The technology utilizes a unique combination of touch-points on the smartphone screen to recognize the medication and give information regarding the proper usage and dosage and gives a reminder of the intake of the medicine. Our tool is comprised of two components—(1) the conductive ink stickers containing a unique combination of conductive inks to be applied to the pill container and (2) the mobile application utilizing touch-points generated by the conductive ink sticker to give information of the corresponding medicine. The following functionalities could be performed by the application-detection of pill container: providing essential information about pill container and dosage; keeping a count of pills already taken, to be taken and remaining pills; reordering the medication and reminding about the medicine intake at the correct designated time.

BACKGROUND Older adults tend to suffer from multi-morbidity, requiring complex treatment methodologies demanding poly-pharmacy. The increasing medication usage can tend towards the mismanagement of prescriptions and irregular or faulty administration. Thus, there arises an urgent need for a proper pill management system for these prescribed medicines. The solutions offered by the current market seem to be sub-optimal; they either fail to be cost-effective or fail to provide much the required assistance. OBJECTIVE We propose a mobile, cost-effective, robust, and easy to use solution involving the extension to the human body-smartphones and pill bottles METHODS The technology utilizes a unique combination of touch-points on the smartphone screen to recognize the medication and give information regarding the proper usage and dosage. The building of the pill management system was conducted in two phases; first, the pill bottles were developed since these were to be detected and identified, followed by the mobile application, which did the whole pill management. RESULTS Our tool comprised of two components–(1) the conductive ink enabled pill bottle containing a unique combination of conductive inks and (2) the mobile application utilizing the touch-points generated by the conductive ink sticker to give information of the corresponding medicine. Whenever a pill bottle is placed on the mobile screen, the conductive ink imitates the finger touch effect creating a unique touch pattern which is detected on the mobile screen. It is analyzed by the mobile application, holding the database of the corresponding medicine assigned to that specific touch pattern, and the user is provided with the medicine and its dosage details. CONCLUSIONS Our smart pill bottle system presents a novel implementation of touchpoint technology. Further, being easy to use, affordable, and compatible with simple equipment, our system showed feasibility in implementation and usage.

The advantages and principles of using the concept of Lean-production in industrial enterprises and the place of Lean-management in the overall management system are discussed in the article. Well-known principles of economical production are universal, but each organization is unique, therefore, its principles corresponding to the sphere of activity of a particular enterprise will be formed. The uniqueness of the principles is formed on the basis of creating a map of flows of values. Application of the principles and tools of Lean management at the enterprise will improve the overall management system without breaking the structure of the management model. The advantage of introducing cost effective production will be to obtain a client-centered result. For the effective implementation of the Lean concept, enterprises need to identify, educate their leaders, train them, form a team, motivate staff, and show a personal example of the benefits of using Lean tools.

Day By Day

Attendance taking and maintaining is a tedious job in the academic institutions where the time of class is restricted. The manual attendance i.e., roll call or paper-based signature systems usually consumes more time and error prone and also possibility of recording proxy attendance is more. Attendance is one of the criteria in considering students’ eligibility for attending the external examinations and also for the promotion to the next semester / year, where these kinds of problems may cause severe effect on the academic institutions. As the strength of students in a class is increasing day by day; monitoring, awarding and maintenance of attendance has becoming a challenge for the academic institutions. As a solution, attendance can be recorded using anyone of the existing biometric techniques like fingerprinting, iris recognition, signature, face recognition etc. Face identification is the best method among all the earlier mentioned methods for implementing in the academic institutions as it does not require human intervention and it is a cost-effective technique. A novel student attendance recording and management system using a MATLAB application, LabVIEW, Camera interface and GSM is proposed in this paper. Students’ faces will be captured with the help of a camera connected to a computer and Eigen values of the captured images will be detected with the help of MATLAB executed by LabVIEW Mathscript node. LabVIEW, a graphical programming environment is adopted for acquiring face, processing and authenticating the student once the match is found. Authenticated student attendance will be updated, and a message will be sent with the help of GSM module interface to myRIO. Proposed system replaces the manual attendance system which improves the performance of existing system.

The primary aim of a hospital Clinical Engineering Department (CED) is to ensure a safe and cost-effective operation of the medical devices. In order to achieve this goal, it needs to implement and establish a comprehensive biomedical technology management program, which is a complex and multidimensional task. This work presents a medical devices management software system to assist the CED in healthcare, and it appears, as a result, of an effort to re-engineer and rebuild such an old, successful management system. The findings of this re-engineering attempt are presented. The goal was the incorporation of the new trends in clinical engineering and medical devices management and the exploitation of the new capabilities provided by the modern software tools and platforms. The system is expected to respond to the changing healthcare environment demands, the increased efforts required, and the respective broader role that CEDs have to play.
