Design of an Intelligent Medicine Container using a Microcontroller

In the current generation it is quite common to see people both young and old who are on medication due to some illness, for cosmetic purpose or who are required to take supplements due to some defects. But it's quite common for one to forget to take medication due to their hectic schedule and this is especially true in the case of the elderly who tend to forget things due to old age. So, for this a smart medicine box can be used. The smart medicine box proposed will have a knob through which either the patient or the guardian can set the time and then at the corresponding time an alarm would sound by means of a buzzer, the drawers will also open with the push of a button and an SMS will be sent which is convenient in situation where the guardian happens to be in an area where their internet fails to work or they happen to switch it off during their work. By pressing the button, the box opens sideways so patients can take their medication and after a minute it goes back in. This box is small, compact, and cheap and is suited for outdoor purposes as in the case of an app Wi-Fi would be needed to update the time whereas here it is not the case.
