IOT-Enabled Medicine Dispenser for Pills and Liquid Medication

This research introduces an IoT-based solution designed to improve medication adherence among elderly individuals. The system offers the capability to dispense both tablets and liquid medications automatically, accompanied by a caregiver-friendly interface. It ensures timely medication intake and streamlines monitoring efforts. At the core of the system is a controller that functions as a secondary unit, managing hardware components including sensors and actuators. A built-in web application facilitates scheduling and communication tasks. Through this platform, caregivers can remotely set medication schedules, receive alerts, and monitor drug consumption effectively. The implementation of this smart dispenser has shown significant improvements in adherence rates, attributed to features such as real-time alerts and remote supervision. Overall, the IoT-based dispenser addresses the common issue of missed medications in elderly patients, contributing to enhanced health outcomes and improved quality of life.
