Smart Medicine Collection Network

Access to essential medicines remains a major challenge for economically disadvantaged communities, even though large quantities of unused and unexpired medicines are discarded in households, clinics, and pharmacies. This mismatch between surplus and scarcity leads not only to preventable suffering but also to significant environmental waste. The Local Usable Medicine Collection & Redistribution project addresses this issue by developing a digital platform that facilitates the safe collection and redistribution of unused medicines through verified NGOs. The system consists of a web portal and an Android mobile application that allow donors to list medicines, NGOs to verify and manage inventories, and beneficiaries to request required medicines. Key features include user authentication, automated expiry validation, location-based matching, inventory tracking, and secure communication. The platform ensures transparency, safety, and accountability throughout the donation lifecycle. Through a combination of technological design, research, and testing, the project demonstrates how digital solutions can minimize medicine wastage, enhance healthcare accessibility, and promote social responsibility. By enabling efficient redistribution of surplus medicines, this initiative contributes to public health improvement, environmental sustainability, and community welfare.
