N2 - In this paper, we present an enhanced virtual observation therapy (VOT) system to address challenges in medication adherence and the current observed therapy approach. The original approach requires both patient and healthcare worker to be physically collocated, which has several technical and practical challenges. Therefore, we developed a system that tracks the natural actions of the patient when they take medication, which provides a new experience for them. The system automates the process of recording a video of the patient's medication taking and uploads the video log to the hospital management system. In addition, the system provides instructions to the patient from start to end of the medication taking process.
