Design and Development of Smart Pill Dispenser

This paper proposes a unique plan to produce reminders and automatically dispense medicines for patients at the right dosage time. Nowadays, many people may not remember to take their medicines as per instructions given by medical professionals due to mental stress. Consequently, the disease will take a long time to recover. Sometimes, aged patients are gulping tablets, and their indefinite quantity level incorrectly causes a severe drawback. Therefore, the patient should take the correct medicines in prescribed quantities and time. To beat these issues, a unique Smart Pill Dispenser system is projected. This method uses Microcontroller, LCD, and Real-Time clock (RTC) module, Buzzer. This transportable and economical prototype of the Smart Pill Dispenser system would facilitate aged patients, particularly illiterate patients. Gerontology recognises that taking pharmaceuticals helps seniors to maintain their health, but convoluted medication schedules can lead to errors like missing doses, taking too much medication, or taking it at the wrong time. These errors may result in more medical or hospital visits, illness, or even death. In order to help older people take their medications on time, it is desirable to design a medication dispensing device. This could prevent unwanted hospital or doctor visits brought on by the misuse of medications. This paper suggests a design for a smart gadget that delivers medication in accordance with the recommended timetable. This device can be further modified and interface with the web application by implementing Internet of Things.
