Aging population is a worldwide trend, with many elderly suffering from various chronic diseases. More medications are used to treat these chronic diseases. Physiological changes in the elderly, resulting in functional decline, coupled with cognitive decline. Therefore, it is common that elderly are unable to read their drug label correctly, differentiate the colour and shape of their medications. This makes elderly a high risk group for medication incidents. The medical cost for elderly is much higher than patients from other age groups.
