| Annotation | The Senior-Med project explores new approaches to helping older, independent-living adults, their families, and their providers to manage multiple prescriptions. Medications routinely prescribed to improve patients' health status and help them continue living independently often end up having the opposite effect, causing poor quality of life and unnecessary hospitalisations. The project provides access to computers and the Internet, so that older people can retrieve their medical records and related information, and ensure that they are taking the appropriate medications. |
