Design of Intelligent Medicine Cabinet Based on STM32F103RCT6

Population aging is an inevitable trend of global population development and a worldwide problem. It is also a new normal facing China's social development. The elderly health problem cannot be ignored. In recent years, with the increasing elderly population, the problem of the elderly taking medicine on time gradually emerged. At present, there are few types of smart medical boxes available on the market, and all of them have some unsolvable problems. After investigation, most elderly people will suffer from multiple diseases and take multiple medications. As older people age, memory decline can lead to problems such as not taking medication on time, forgetting to take medication, taking the wrong medication, not being able to get medication quickly in an emergency, and not having medication stored out of date to be attended to. Aiming at the problems of elderly people not taking medicine on time, forgetting to take medicine, taking wrong drugs, drug quality, and the use and preservation of smart medicine box, we designed a smart medicine box with STM32 as the main control chip to assist elderly people to take medicine. The design of the intelligent medicine cabinet takes STM32F103RCT6 as the hardware core, and adds voice reminder module, GPS Beidou positioning module, temperature and humidity detection module, pressure sensing module and so on. The switch of the medicine box is controlled by the output level of the photosensitive sensor inside the photosensitive box. The temperature and humidity inside the medicine cabinet are collected in real time by using the temperature and humidity composite sensor and timing reminder setting. The functions of reminding the elderly to take medicine on time, detecting the temperature and humidity inside the medicine cabinet, information collection and drug classification are realized. Therefore, the intelligent medicine box designed in this paper can realize a variety of functions, such as timely intelligent voice reminding to take medicine, automatically opening the medicine box and monitoring whether the medicine has been taken, monitoring whether the environment of the medicine box is suitable, and drug classification. It provides great convenience for empty nest elderly living alone who need to take medication for a long time, and better serves the elderly.

Intelligent Medicine Box

The fundamental reason for the venture “INTELLIGENT MEDICINE BOX” is to propose the essential thought of programmed medication update, which will help patients take their recommended medication suitably with appropriate dosages. It is a clever plan to help the patient take as much time as is needed and, thus, lessen an opportunity to recuperate from their infection. Specifically, the matured patient takes some unacceptable medication and some unacceptable measurements mistakenly, causing a serious issue. This framework isn’t only useful for an individual but can likewise make a significant commitment to medical clinics. In the present occupied, pushed, and booked life, individuals are experiencing loads of illnesses but can’t recall their medication and timing of it, and here this framework can be of genuine use. This project utilizes an LCD, ARDUINO module, RTC module. AS per the odder gadgets, this smart medicine box is planned in light of a lower cost. Thus, this convenient and monetarily cheaper framework would be useful to each age group

The Design of the Intelligent Medicine Box for the Elderly

With the increase in the number of elderly people in the world, the problem of population aging has gradually become prominent. People are paying more and more attention to the elderly, and medical supplies for the elderly have also attracted great attention. At present, various intelligent medical boxes have appeared in the domestic and foreign markets. These medicine boxes mainly include functions such as setting time, reminding to take medicine regularly, and SMS notification service. This project designed an intelligent medicine box, which is based on 80C51 single-chip microcomputer, loaded with infrared on-beam sensor, three-axis acceleration sensor, short message module, and Bluetooth module. The main functions of the system include intelligent detection module, timing reminder function, short message notification module and anti-fall detection module. On the one hand, the intelligent system can monitor and remind the elderly to take medications in time. On the other hand, it can also monitor the personal safety of the elderly alone at home. This is different from the current intelligent medical box on the market and is also the highlight of the system.

Design and Research of an Intelligent Medicine Box

In order to solve these problems, such as forgetting to take medicine, wrong dosage or type of medicine, an intelligent medicine box is designed. The intelligent medicine box is composed of a piston dispensing mechanism, a platform moving mechanism and a main body mechanism, etc. Close cooperation between various parts, realize the functions of storing medicines, automatically dispensing medicines, intelligent reminders, intelligent detection and intelligent sterilization. Through the simulation in solidworks, the mechanical performance simulation analysis. The results show that the deformation of the crank is very small during the whole process of dispensing medicines, there is no concentrated stress, and it has no effect on the dispensing efficiency during the dispensing process. The designed intelligent medicine box is not only for the elderly, but also suitable for all kinds of people. It can promptly remind patients to take drugs, reduce the occurrence of problems such as wrong medication and forgetting to take drugs. It is user-friendly in design, simple and convenient to operate, helps smart medical treatment, eases the pressure of medical care, and has good market application value.
