 Abstract:
 This project patient medication reminder is a system which
helps in medication administration and monitoring.

 This system is driven by an embedded program that inputs

predefined parameters which are processed based on the
input variables entered via a user interface device such as the
keypad.

 All the entries made on the keypad are concurrently and

simultaneously displayed on the Blynk app panel of the
device.
 INTRODUCTION:

 A substantial number of patients, particularly the handicapped

and the elderly do not follow instructions in taking medication.

 This can result in a patient failing to take medication,

taking the wrong medication, taking an incorrect
amount of medication, or taking the medication at a
wrong time, leading to either a drug overdose or an
ineffective application of medication to the patient
MOTIVATION

 In today’s society, many people require

multiple prescription medication each
day, especially seniors
PROBLE
M
 Difficult to keep track pills taken, as well
as how many.
 Difficult for patients with diseases, such
as Arthritis and Parkinson's to open and
close multiple child-safe prescription
bottles.
OUR
SOLUTION
 Design a system which automatically counts
and dispenses the correct number of pills
with minimal error
 To make taking daily medications simple
and efficient
 To provide a way for patients to keep track
of daily pill intake to prevent under or over
dosage
 Status of the pill is send to IoT cloud
KEY
FEATURES
 Programmable system to distribute correct
number of pills for different days of the
week
 Accurate dispensing to reduce risk of
over- medication and overdose
 Ideal for Alzheimer's patients and victims
of other memory altering diseases
 Small in size so it can be implemented in
both commercial and residential settings
DESIG
N
 Simple and easy to use program and
interface
 Compact design so it can be implemented
for both residential and commercial use
 Quick dispensing mechanism
 Capable of handling a variety of pills
and capsule sizes
 Secure in order to prevent being
tampered with

 DS3231 Real Time Clock:

General Description The DS3231 is a low-

cost, extremely accurate I2C real-time clock
(RTC) with an integrated temperature
compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and
crystal.

The device incorporates a battery input,

and maintains accurate timekeeping when
main power to the device is interrupted.

The integration of the crystal resonator

enhances the long-term accuracy of the
device as well as reduces the piece-part
count in a manufacturing line.
DISPLAYS

As the system performs controlling and monitoring operations, it is

primary requirement to put a display in the system which shows various
message such Ignition ON/OFF, vehicle location (LAT & LOG) and also will
display actions taken by microcontroller.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) of 2X16 characters operating on +5Volt supply

and operated in 4-bit mode is implemented for the task of displaying
required messages .Interfacing with Arduino and short code of programming
makes it very useful to make system more user friendly.

 • Servo motor (SG90) Pill dispenser motor :

• Servo Motors are used in applications where very high precision motion is
required like assembly robots, computer numeric controls etc.
• Servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees. (90 in each direction)
• Wi-Fi ESP8266:
• ESP8266 is a 3V WiFi module very popular for its Internet of Things(IoT)
applications. ESP 8266 maximum working Voltage is 3.6V and its very
important to note.

• The ESP Wi-Fi modules are microcontrollers with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (not all
models) capability, developed by Espressif Systems. It consists of many
development boards like ESP8266-01, ESP8266, NodeMCU, ESP12, ESP32 etc.
All the development boards can be easily programmed using Arduino IDE and
can be used in a variety of applications like Home Automation, Internet of
things (IoT), Smart devices etc..
