The real time hardware of Smart Medicine Dispenser to Reduce the Adverse Drugs Reactions

In this paper we present a proof-of-concept for the solution of a problem of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) due to human error. ADRs due to carelessness or human mistakes is very common in elder people or in people who are administered with multiple prescriptions for the day, but they face difficulty in tracking their medications over time. This paper deals with the development of a Smart Medicine Dispenser to manage the very real problem of patients confusing the dosage and timing of their medications, particularly vulnerable patients or patients on numerous medications. We have devised a device named SMART MEDICINE DISPENSER (SMD) which will contain all the prescribed doses for a fortnight or a month and will dispense them at accurate timings. This device will monitor the patient's medication habits and will also reduce the risk of overdose or taking the wrong medication. We have used the basic yet brilliant concept of electromagnetism in our design with compare to exiting product, and the components used are also easily available making SMD very inexpensive as compared to the current solutions in the market.
