IoT-Based Smart Medicine Dispenser

This research introduces an innovative solution to address medication adherence challenges, particularly prevalent among the elderly and individuals facing health limitations. The proposed IoT-based Smart Medicine Dispenser combines a physical device, mobile application, and cloud server to create a complete system. The device accurately dispenses medications according to a schedule, with real-time monitoring facilitated by a Human Machine Interface (HMI) display. The mobile app allows easy schedule configuration, while the cloud server stores and syncs data. Various testing demonstrated the system's reliability and potential to enhance patient outcomes. Identified capabilities, such as user-friendly interfaces and cloud storage, highlight the system's effectiveness. Despite room for improvement, including canister detecting mechanisms and audible instructions, this research lays the groundwork for advanced smart medication dispensing systems, offering a promising avenue to combat medication non-adherence and improve overall healthcare outcomes.
