Abstract
This paper describes scenarios and discusses technological possibilities
for implementing a mobile application to support medication management of
elderly vision impaired people. The scenarios have been defined in workshops
and discussions between technology providers, elderly care personnel,
representatives of associations for blind, and pharmacy professionals
complemented with observation of vision impaired elderly. Technological
discussion evaluates the possibilities for implementing a medication support
application with near-field communication (NFC) technology. The goal is to
develop a mobile application concept that allows vision impaired elderly to
manage their daily medication autonomously.
