Abstract
Medication management is not only of relevance related to a specific therapy, but has also a high impact in every days life, especially for elderly people who are likely to be affected by majorpolypharmacy. This often results in a low medication adherence, caused by low acceptance, low persistence, and low compliance. ICT based solutions can help to address the low compliance by reminding people and by recording the actual medication intake. In this paper we give a brief motivation for active medication management in the context of Ambient Assisted Living and present the results of a recently carried out study evaluating a personal drug reminder system. This study showed, that acceptance of such systems can be high, provided that usability and stability are high.
