Medicine Box Reminder for Patients with Chronic Disease with IoT-Based Database Monitoring

Chronic illness is the highest cause of death in the world, to avoid increasing causes of death due to chronic diseases, it requires appropriate processes which require a long time of treatment and the drug becomes the most important component. Unfortunately, the level of adherence to taking medication in patients with chronic diseases is still low. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) carelessly taking medication can cause 30–50 percent of treatment failures and 125,000 deaths per year. Therefore in this study will create a medicine box reminder system for chronic disease patients with database monitoring based on IoT (Internet of Things) which can be monitored in real-time, this research stated reminder system using an android application that will be connected with medicine box reminder devices made using raspberry pi 3 model B, with speaker components and a PAM8403 amplifier. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the system that was made was tested with the user and produced a level of functionality of 100% and an average delay on the reminder system of 4,239 seconds for the reminder when going to take medication, and amounted to 7,298 seconds to inform that it had taken the drug, and amounted to 97% for checking the accuracy of taking drugs with QR code.
