SMART MEDICINE DISPENSER FOR ELDERLY AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED

Abstract: Poor medication adherence is one of the major causes of illness and of treatment failure. The main purpose of our project is to help the elderly and visually impaired, take their medications on time in an easy way without the possibility of missing pills, also reduce the risk of over or under dosing accidentally. It provides direct communication between the system and the caregiver as it will immediately notify the care giver in case the patient missed his/her pill. In this project we have developed a mobile application wherein caregivers have to register to track their patient’s medical adherence. They will be notified when their patient misses a dose or they can also track the complete history.
