Abstract

Because of people's busy schedule or due to forgetfulness or due to memory loss (because of age) many a times they skip their medical schedule which has to be taken at a particular time (especially in rural and blind people). Apart from these the rural people cannot be able to read the medical prescription written by doctor because of illiteracy or eye sight. This may not be harmful in case of normal diseases like fever, headache etc. But when it comes to diseases like asthma, heart attack, Tuberculosis, sugar patients they need to take the scheduled medicines at specific time. Sometimes the wrong combination of the medicines also leads to further increase of disease, results in costlier medicines and prolong of medicine course. This is a critical problem for Medical Researchers as it hampers treatment success. This paper proposes the automated medicinal remainder for rural India and blind people which reminds the people of their medicinal schedules and also provides by passing of requirement so that they can be notified again and again whenever they are busy.
