1. A system for monitoring medication adherence of user, comprising:
a wearable device; and
an external device;
the wearable device comprising:
a first communication circuit;
a camera; and
a first processor operatively coupled to the first communication circuit,
the external electronic device comprising:
a memory;
a second communication circuit; and
a second processor operatively coupled to the memory,
wherein the second processor is configured to:
receive, using the second communication circuit, image data obtained using the camera from the wearable device,
wherein the camera is activated based on an activation data received from the external device in communication with the wearable device,
wherein the activation data is generated, based on an ambient value and a motion value, which are obtained, using the external device,
based on an output value by inputting the image data into a medication adherence detection model, obtain, an information related to a medication adherence for a specific medication of the user,
wherein the information related to the medication adherence comprises a first information related to a time point of adherence of the specific medication of the user and a second information related to an instruction of the specific medication of the user, and
transmit the information related to the medication adherence to the wearable device using the second communication circuit,
wherein the first processor is configured to:
receive, by using the first communication circuit, the information related to the medication adherence, wherein the information related to the medication comprises the first information and the second information from the external electronic device, and
based on the first information and the second information, determine, a duplicate medication adherence of the user, and
when the user is determined to perform the duplicate medication adherence, provide a duplicate medication adherence notification.
