Abstract

We present the MedReminder, an interactive multimedia medical application, integrated into an existing IPTV service framework. The MedReminder application is implemented within XBMC multimedia platform and is integrated alongside interactive TV live and on demand multimedia services, providing easy to use and intuitive user experience. It is a client-server based application connecting different target user roles: doctors as medicine prescribers, patients as medicine consumers and patient caregivers. It allows for a centralized collection of medicine related reminder information. Consequently, the system provides user notifications on TV screen and through other communication channels, such as SMS messages, e-mail and telephone calls, which are used in case the consumption of prescribed medicine has not been confirmed. Several use case scenarios are discussed including the possibility of dynamic medicine prescriptions, based on doctor's remote readings of patient's medical parameters (e.g. blood pressure, body weight, temperature etc.), using the integrated personal health system.
