RESUMO
Medication adherence is an important factor for the outcome of medical therapies. To support high adherence levels, smartwatches can be used to assist the patient. However, a successful integration of such devices into clinicians' or general practitioners' information systems requires the use of standards. In this paper, a medication management system supplied with smartwatch generated feedback events is presented. It allows physicians to manage their patients' medications and track their adherence in real time. Moreover, it fosters interoperability via a ISO/IEC 16022 data matrix which encodes related medication data in compliance with the German Medication Plan specification.

Even long before it was published, many people regarded Google Glass as a Swiss army knife for nearly every task. There are some fields of application in which the best known wearable device could simplify daily life, such as car navigation or reading recipes. But does this also apply for medicine and health care? This paper will at first explain what Google Glass is and how it works. Afterwards, diabetes mellitus (DM), is discussed. Moreover, we try to answer the question whether a Glass-like device could support and improve people with DM. Therefore, several use cases for Glass-enabled chronic disease care are outlined.
