Abstract
Stroke patients often experience problems of taking medications due to forgetfulness, a number of medications causing confusion to take, or even the side effects making the patients refuse to take medications resulting in ineffective treatment. In this study, the researchers study and develop information technology in the form of Android application in order to educate and remind the stroke patients to take medications by developing a prototype system called DCMed. The research finds that the stroke patients in the experimental group using DCMed system are more interested and complied with taking medications accounting for 42.86%. Moreover, the patients can take medications more timely than those in the control group at the significant level of 0.05.Keywords: stroke patient, medication discontinuation, medication reminder system, Android application, web application, medication compliance, IMB Model
