Popis: Within the project “eSecMed – Secure Medication through NFC-Solutions for a longer, safer & autonomous Life of Seniors” funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), a consortium of 3 partners developed an intelligent blister with a NFC chip and integrated booster antenna combined with an mHealth smartphone application. The objective of this system was to enhance health adherence/compliance and authentication possibilities of medications, as well as minimising undesirable side effects and harmful interactions. This paper describes the evaluation of the overall system with the main focus on the development of an application prototype. With a qualitative assessment (usability testing method) the present solution was tested in terms of usefulness, ease of use and technology acceptance.
