Medication compliance of long-term drug therapy outpatients is poor because of low-frequency visit of the patients to clinic and dispensing pharmacy. This is also because that their subjective symptoms are not straightforward. Recently a crane truck driver who has epilepsy hit and killed six of children in an accident. A crane truck driver is epilepsy patient and forgetting to take medicine is suspected to be cause of the accident. In this research, we design support system for long-term medication patients to improve medication compliance, for use in dispensing pharmacy. In the proposed system, the patient operate simulation of own symptom implemented on computer, corresponding to the medication status such as "took" or "not took" drug, every dosing time. The patient has subjective symptom by seeing change in his symptom through the simulation on the computer. The status of the patient medication is sent to the computer of pharmacist in the dispensing pharmacy, pharmacist in charge watch the status of his patient medication status. The pharmacist can utilize the medication status report for drug administration guidance when the patient visits to the clinic and the dispensing pharmacy next time. Through using of the proposed system, the patient improves his medication compliance and adherence.
