The
number of products that simplify people’s lives are increasing with the
enormous development of the technology. Mobile devices have a great importance
for the provision of communication which is one of the most significant need of
human beings. Mobile devices have gone beyond to be used originally as a mobile
phone purposes and they have begun to be used as a smartphone by taking in
charge of computers. They are not only used for communication but also they are
used like camera, photo camera, notebook, television and reminder. Google's
Android platform is a widely anticipated open source operating system for
mobile phones. Google’s Android Operating System (AOS) in mobile phones are
still relatively new, however, AOS has been progressing quite rapidly. The
increasing number of smartphone users has prepared the ground for the emergence
of new ideas to make life easier. Recently, especially some applications in
health sector have reflected one of the most important samples. Some of the mobile
applications in this field used by humans are about hearing test, vision test,
diabetes, pregnancy, and doctor appointment. This paper focuses on following of
drugs, taken by patients, through mobile phones. The application running on the
AOS provides the use of drugs on time with the alarm system. In addition to
this, the application gives information (time, dosage, and name) about drugs by
reading data matrix located on the medicine box. Thanks to visual and
understandable interface and easy usage, many difficulties experienced in drug
intake can be eliminated with this application. Finally, the percentage of drug
intake on time can be increased in the future.
