Recap

• The aim of the project is to help improve
  medicine compliance of Deaf people.

  SignSupport where the pharmacist has the option
  to set a date and time for the patient to
  consumer their medication with the instructions.

Implementation

Progress

• Term3

• Term4

• Stand alone video reminder
• Used App Inventor.
• Unable to notify the deaf patient when its the
  right time and instruct at the same time

• Integrated the reminder onto Sign Support.
• Used Android.
• Notifies the deaf patient when it is the right
  time and it comes with a set of instructions to
  follow

6
Challenges

• Allow the pharmacist freedom to change and add
  more or other instructions.
• Getting the notification to still notify even
  when the phone is off.
• Aligning the application to run using the time
  and date of Google calendar.
• Google calendar does not allow for videos, only
  text and audio based.

7
Future Work

• Get the application aligned with Google calendar
• Get the application to notify even if it is off
• Getting the notification to also produce a
  flashing light
• Getting the notification to repeat again if the
  deaf patient did not open notification the first
  time around

• Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime
  Environment (JRE)

Demo

• The pharmacist logs-in on SignSupport
• Checks the patient details if they are correct
• Dispenses medication and the instructions the
  patient should follow.

  the patient should take the medication.
• At the appropriate time the deaf user receives a
  notification with the instructions to follow
