The most dangerous problem in the modern day health-care system is missing medicines, mainly for those with complex medication schedule leading to non-adherence to medication. This is mainly due to the busy lifestyle we are leading. Life today is full of obligations and tension and people are vulnerable to various forms of diseases. Long duration of medication errors may lead to serious health issues mainly for older patients or patients with chronic illness. Since non-adherence to medication will just complicate our lives so to deal with this present day problem, to increase adherence to medication and to simplify our lives, the Med-Alert android application is introduced and discussed here in this paper.
