Smart medication systems are used to help older people, and the professionals and family who care for them, to organize and manage their daily drug regimes. However, synthetized knowledge on previous studies about how these improve everyday life is needed. We searched the PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SocINDEX and Cochrane library databases from 2005 to 2019 and this review focused on nine of the 2,424 papers we identified. According to our analysis, smart medication systems make it possible to regulate medication times and doses and detect medication errors. With further development, smart medication systems could be more be effective at preventing medication errors, improving medication adherence by older people and freeing up healthcare professional, so that they can focus on other tasks. However, more research on different systems is needed to improve existing solutions and to understand how they can make older people more independent when it comes to their daily medication.

Effective storage and utilization of limited donor corneal resources are in high demand to alleviate the shortage of donor corneal tissue. Here, we designed a static air-lifted organ culture system equipped with a protective coverage membrane, namely, an air-lifted OC-P system, to provide a biomimetic physiological environment for full-thickness corneal preservation. The air-lifted OC-P system features a unique collagen-based protective coverage membrane that can offer a moist, oxygen-rich environment for corneal epithelium, produce an appropriate intraocular pressure onto the cornea by gravity, and facilitate the maintenance of the organ culture medium level for nutrient supply during corneal preservation.
