Abstract
This system addresses the issue of medication adherence by providing timely reminders for patients to take their prescribed medication and ensuring only authorized users access the medication box. Combining physical and digital reminders, it offers a solution suitable for individuals of all ages, particularly on aiding elderly individuals who are prone to forgetting their medication schedules. Emphasizing ease of use and cost-effectiveness, the system integrates microcontroller technology, IoT systems, Facial recognition and an alarm system to prompt patients to take their medication as per their prescription. Designed to be portable and affordable, this smart medicine box is especially beneficial for elderly and illiterate patients, relieving family members of the burden of ensuring medication adherence. This paper describes an overview of a smart medicine box, which acts as an assistive device to avoid non-compliance with medicine. It consists of a hardware box with compartments for a week (three times a day), as well as an Android application for reminding the respective patient and informing the family members (caregiver) whether the patient has taken the medicines or not.
