Pill reminder app and pill dispenser kit using internet of things / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Most of the elders have multiple chronic diseases and they use medicines to stabilize their health conditions. IoT based healthcare services have a major potential for automation, let alone the drastic changes that it would bring in the field of healthcare and medicine. With time our life is integrated so much with mobile technologies that we rely on it on multiple occasions. Health care is a major concern for elderly people since intake of proper medicine at prescribed time is a challenge and providing services via technologies is a sigh of relief. The nucleus of this paper is to remind the people constantly and ensure that the tablet is taken properly. If the user does not give any response to the alert or alert is snoozed more than twice or in case if the mobile phone is turned off the notification is sent to the care taker. When the count of the tablet is decreased as per the amount mentioned in the app the notification will terminate automatically. The heart of this app is that, the tablet count is maintained and the appropriate message is sent to the nearby registered medical pharmacist for refilling purposes.
