Medication discussion Elderly people who use more medicines are at high risk of being hospitalized due to an error in the use of medication. To prevent this, the GP and pharmacist conduct medication discussions. The patient, GP and pharmacist come together to discuss the medication and adjust it if necessary. Problem Due to COVID-19, these three-way conversations are canceled, which increases the risk of elderly people being admitted to hospital due to medication errors. Solution We want to start these conversations again. This can be done using video calling. But existing solutions for this are not usable: not every elderly person has a telephone or tablet and installing an app is difficult. With this project we safely use open source software and 4G tablets to make video calls with the elderly. The pharmacy delivery person brings a cleaned tablet to the elderly person's home. The pharmacist can then start the connection with the elderly and the GP remotely and the three-way conversation can take place.
