Automatic Pill Dispenser

Abstract

People who take a lot of medication and don't take it at the proper time and in the proper dose risk jeopardizing their health and independence. A pill dispenser facility is required to continuously check the patient's health without the need to be physically present with the patient. Diagnoses could be made easier and more appropriate for doctors and patients with the use of Internet of Things sensing technology. The developed device sends text messages to specified contacts to let them know if the patient has taken medication. The automated pill dispenser is made up of a number of components, including a motor and motor controller that houses the pill container, a Wi-Fi module for accessing cloud storage, and a number of sensors that monitor the patient's health, all of which are connected to a microcontroller. The user can program the timer to distribute multiple pills at the same time. When the pill is dropped, a warning signal is given. It has the ability to send alarms up to three times a day. It is programmed in such a way that the dispenser can modify the required number of times and the number of pills to be picked dynamically as needed. The main goal is to keep the gadget simple, user-friendly, and cost-effective, so that the general public can profit from it by avoiding costly in-home medical care.
