Abstract :
Non-adherence to taking medication can cause problems for a person. Factors
that cause non-adherence to taking medication include disease factors and factors of use.
The role of medication companions in monitoring and improving user compliance to take
medication on time cannot be carried out continuously. So we need a drug dispenser to
improve and monitor the schedule for taking drugs and can have a positive influence on
users. The drug dispenser will undergo several tests, namely mechanical testing,
electronic and program testing and user usability testing. Tests were conducted to
determine the performance of the drug dispenser and its effectiveness to the user. The
drug dispenser is equipped with an electronic system that can adjust the schedule and
dosage of drugs to be consumed with a sound indicator that will light up when the
schedule for taking medication has arrived. The usability test of the tool got a value of
71.9 which means that this dispenser tool can be used properly on the user and has a
positive influence and increases drug adherence to its users.
