Smart Medicine Kit

Abstract

Health is one the most important aspects that can be 
considered by most of the human beings.Nowadays, 
Diseases keep on increasing day by day and people 
keep on taking tablets and certain medications to 
control those diseases. Missing to take tablets on 
time causes severe health problems to some of the 
sugar patients etc., but people nowadays keep on 
missing to take tablets in their regular life that 
causes health problems. Some people alter the tablet 
by mistake when tablets are mixed in the cover. 
Many uneducated people as well as visually and 
hearing impaired patients do not even know which 
tablet they have to take. According to many medical 
surveys many heart patients have died because of 
forgetting to take essential tablets. To avoid With 
such ill effects, we have developed a smart device 
which can act as an automated medical assistant to 
the patient. An alarm with visual indication will be 
given using buzzers with LED at tablet taking time 
and the single button will be used for opening or 
closing the tablet rack at that time of the alarm. A 
rack will be pushed, and that contains tablets to be 
taken at that time to avoid confusions on altering the 
tablets. The medicine kit configuration also done 
using eight buttons with multiple options like 
morning, afternoon, evening, night, snooze, 
emergency open etc., and an immediate action will 
be taken by sending SMS to guardian with the help 
GSM module when the patient missed to take the 
tablet. For further clarification how many times 
patients missed the tablet with date and time will be updated to the hospital through IoT for the 
corresponding patient ID. These details can be  viewed by the doctor which helps to diagnose the 
patient. Process of this medicine kit was controlled 
by using an 8-bit Microcontroller.
