QR-Code Automated Drug Dispenser

The proposed automated drug dispenser leveraging QR code technology marks a significant leap forward in medication management, revolutionizing patient safety and convenience within the healthcare system. This innovative system seamlessly integrates modern technology to enhance patient outcomes and streamline the medication dispensing process. Upon the reception of a prescription from the doctor, the prescription details are encoded into a QR code and transmitted to the automated drug dispenser. This QR code serves as a unique identifier for the prescribed medicine, streamlining the retrieval process. Once the QR code of the medicine aligns with the corresponding code in the vending machine, the system initiates the display of crucial information on the machine's screen. This includes the medication name, and quantity, providing transparency and accuracy in the dispensing process. Patients can then verify the details before proceeding. To complete the transaction, users make payment through a secure payment gateway integrated into the system. Upon successful payment, a helical spring drawer mechanism is activated. This mechanism efficiently pushes down the designated medicine block from its storage compartment to the main outlet, ready for patient retrieval. This comprehensive process ensures a secure, efficient, and user-friendly experience for healthcare providers and patients. By embracing this automated drug dispenser, the healthcare system benefits from improved accuracy, reduced waiting times, and enhanced patient care. The integration of QR code technology represents a forward-thinking approach that aligns with the evolving landscape of healthcare technology.
