devices. The system runs on an Ozeki SMS server
platform. The goal of the MAS is to remind pa-
tients having HIV/AIDS and other related health
issues to take their drugs at the prescribed time.
An obvious benefit of MAS is to save the patient
from the danger of forgetting to take drugs that
have been prescribed by the doctor. Experience
has shown that when drug prescribed by doctors
are abused or not taken as expected it may not
function or provide the necessary cure in the hu-
man system. The system provided will no doubt
help to address the millennium development goals
that bother on health care delivery and also help in
addressing the problems of HIV/AIDS and other
prevalent diseases associated with people living
in developing countries.
When the prototype system is fully deployed,
it will complement the existing systems used in
the domain of e-Health and enhance the quality of
health care services provided by both the private
and public hospitals in the country.
