Design of Smart Medicine Dispenser System

This paper presents the design of Medicine Dispenser System which aims to help patients with their medication. It is an improvement over traditional medicine boxes in that it has an alarm function. Also, in the conventional medicine box, the patient must fill pills in the boxes day wise; i.e. they must refer to the prescription while filling the boxes. The device presented here allows the user to fill boxes based on the type of medicine. Different types of medicines go in different boxes. The user can initialize the reminder setting by choosing the time at which a pill should be taken, and also from which boxes it must be taken. The design was achieved using a microcontroller. We have also incorporated an alarm and calling function with this system. Thus, this model eliminates the possibility of human error.
