Abstract
There are various factors that result in the lack of involuntary adherence to medication, among these factors forgetfulness is one of the most relevant. The technologies associated with the improvement of adherence facilitate the management of the taking of medications in the elderly, however these technologies often do not consider the context of people's daily life, such as eating habits, rest, and entertainment. One strategy older adults use for adherence to medication is to link their medication regimens to daily activities through relatively preserved and relatively automatic associative recovery processes. These processes facilitate the recall of a planned action. For this reason, we propose, through technology-based intervention, the use of a graphical interface that associates contextual signals, which supports the formation of habits and improves adherence to medication in older adults.
