摘要
高齡化乃是近年來台灣人口結構轉變的現象，也帶來家庭組織、衛生醫療及社會負擔等衝擊。在高齡化的社會環境下，居家照護產業將是一個持續成長的市場，這個產業包括疾病的預防與治療，及術後的照護與追蹤等各種服務。對於需要長期服藥控制病情的患者，希望藉由科技技術支援，發展良好的藥物使用管理系統，協助慢性病患者遵醫囑，定時服用藥物，降低病情惡化的情形，達到節省醫療支出的目的。
高科技醫療服務興起，與資訊科技的進步，將以往需要不同設備的功能，整合縮小到一片晶片上，即可完成多項的工作。應用在醫療體系方面，常見的有血壓與血糖的偵測儀器，人們現在可以利用簡易的儀器設備，即可於短時間內完成檢測，得到需要的資訊，作為醫療保健的數據。一個新的用藥提醒與藥物辨識設備，可協助慢性病使用者正確與安全的使用藥物。尤其對於大多數需要長期服藥者，一但中途用藥不正確或沒有正確用時間，常會使病情惡化。
本研究探討用藥提醒與藥物辨識產品的功能與機會，經由iNPD實作程序，從宏觀與微觀的角度來探討與研究，找出產品機會缺口，發現產品創新機會，提供更有效的用藥提醒與藥物辨識系統，除了提供用藥資料外，也包含醫護人員對於病患給予的囑咐建議，如用藥時間的提醒，取用藥物的辨識，與遠端的通知等功能，此操作介面硬體的簡易度與軟體介面上的設計將扮演重要的角色。以提升術後照護與治療的品質，創造更健康的生活品質。

英文摘要
The Ageing Society that Taiwan entered due to population structure has changed recently, it also impacted family structure, heath care and society burden. Under the Ageing Society, the heath care at home market is a continue growing. There were included prevent and treat, heath care and follow up after a surgical operation service and business. The chronic disease patients would like to have good health system that can help them follow physician’s prescription had medicine at right time with right dosage, and can keeping disease stabilize and reduce health care expenditure.
With high tech helping in health care, a small chip can support a lot of functions that required a lot of equipments in before. We can use a small equipment to detect our blood pressure and sugar status with easy way which required a lot of processing and time did it in hospital in before. A new medication reminding system can help chronic disease patients have medicine in safe way, especially for those people who required medicine for live.
This research study is using the iNPD theory to look new medication reminding system production and opportunity, and finding product gap and innovation opportunity, can provide more effective system for those people who working in heath care industry and required patients. In new medication reminding system will included time for medicine alarm, providing medicine information and remote notice functions, these will increase health care and live quality.
