“…Pill management is essential to the independence of elderly people added to new advances in applications for monitoring diary activities, detecting falls, and implementing preventive measures to improve their quality of life [1]. The applications with IoT and elderly people in scientific literature, recently demonstrated a small advance in the sense of elderly healthcare and concerns about technology usage, mainly with the technology handling [5]. Furthermore, there is an ongoing and continuous development of new solutions addressing various health issues, such as applications for doctors to monitor patients and telemedicine, enabling remote medical care [6].…”

Technological advancements have greatly improved the quality of life and increased longevity. Meanwhile, the increase in the elderly population for the next years generates some concerns about the quality of life and independence of these people; A prototype for a pill monitoring system has been proposed as part of this project, which aims to contribute to this progress by developing and implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) device for pill management. The prototype allows users to input medication information, set alarms, and monitor doses. The user interface was designed to focus on intuitive and accessible interaction, considering users with low levels of mobile technology proficiency. Additionally, the application generates graphs of patient medication usage to assist healthcare professionals. To control and monitor the medication compartments, the prototype was implemented using the ESP32 microcontroller and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication. Regardless of the preliminary stages of development, the functional prototype has great potential to become a valuable tool for the elderly.

“…IoT has emerged as a promising tool in healthcare and has the potential to reduce costs, improve user experience and patient monitoring, and increase the quality of life (Costa et al, 2018), (Gralha et al, 2022). Personalized interventions combined with IoT have contributed to improving the quality of life and mitigating symptoms and adverse effects in cancer patients undergoing treatment (Queiroz et al, 2021).…”

Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent in men and women, and its development is associated with several risk factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, alcohol consumption, and eating habits. This study aimed to present the results of applying the questionnaire on eating habits and physical activity from the Food Guide: how to have a healthy diet in the first chemotherapy session, after signing the consent form, and eight weeks after the first application. All patients with colorectal cancer under active treatment from July to December 2022 were invited to participate in the study. The Ethics Committee approved this project. During the research, patients underwent a new monitoring model that included the use of a chatbot and wearable device for eight weeks. The model aimed to ensure greater patient engagement with their treatment through interactions about symptoms and adverse effects, eating habits, and physical activity practice. As a result, there was a statistical reduction in the consumption of alcoholic beverages and fast foods and a statistical increase in fruit consumption. In addition, the findings indicate that the model contributed to a greater practice of physical activity by patients. For future work, we suggest applying this model to patients with other types of cancer to assess and extend the benefits of the model in different contexts of cancer treatment.
