Abstract
There are various factors that result in the lack of involuntary adherence to medication, among these factors forgetfulness is one of the most relevant. The technologies associated with the improvement of adherence facilitate the management of the taking of medications in the elderly, however these technologies often do not consider the context of people's daily life, such as eating habits, rest, and entertainment. One strategy older adults use for adherence to medication is to link their medication regimens to daily activities through relatively preserved and relatively automatic associative recovery processes. These processes facilitate the recall of a planned action. For this reason, we propose, through technology-based intervention, the use of a graphical interface that associates contextual signals, which supports the formation of habits and improves adherence to medication in older adults.

Raspbian is the only official operating system supported by the Raspberry Pi foundation. You can install the Raspbian OS manually or with the help of NOOBS (New Out Of Box Software) [15]. Rasp-bian is based on Debian which is highly optimized to interface with the Raspberry Pi hardware. Raspbian is an open source operating system that was started by Mike Thompson and Peter Green [16]. Open source software is software whose source code is available for anyone to modify or improve. The Linux kernel and most of the other software that makes up Raspbian is licensed under the GPLv2. This means that the software is available at no cost and that the source code that composes it is available for free modification.
