IoT based medicine dispenser for improving medication adherence

Abstract

Some people, particularly older adults, struggle to remember when to take their medications. One suggestion for resolving this issue is a medicine dispensing device. This project is about an IoT medicine dispenser for solid drugs (pills, capsules, antibiotics etc.) and a website application for keeping a track and managing it. The major goal is to provide a solution that will enable individuals, particularly elderly people, to prevent taking medications incorrectly. This device's objectives are to dispense medicines at the designated times and also to monitor medication consumption. A literature review was done to obtain and evaluate data about the numerous medication dispensers available on the market in order to establish the most suitable system.
