Automatic detection of basic physical characteristics of drugs
Vrana, Vojtěch ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The administration of drugs to patients is affected by human error, with polymorbid geriatric patients being most at risk. The trend today is to create systems that reduce the error rate of medication administration. This work describes the creation of a functional sample device for tablet identification. It will serve as proof of concept for grant application of the Department of Applied Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy MU. Theoretical part of this thesis digs into the legislation and registration of pills. Device was created and detection and classification algorithms were developed. The classification worked with parameters detected from photos of pills from different angles in the device. Color of the pill, the size, the weight, it’s shape and the glossiness were taken into account. Future variants of this device could reduce the error rate of administering drugs in more than one home for the elderly.
