IoT-enabled Smart Pill Dispenser with ESP8266 for Automated Medication Management and LED Indication

Electronics AND Communication

It is essential to give elderly people their medication on time. The purpose of an automatic medicine dispenser is to help people who take prescription drugs without careful medical monitoring. The user is relieved of the error-prone task of giving the wrong medication at the wrong time. A microcontroller interfaced with an alphanumeric keypad, an LED display, a motor controller, an alarm system, a multiple pill container, and a dispenser are the main parts of this medication dispenser. The main function is to make it easier for the user to establish the timings so that several pills are dispensed at the appropriate times. Two different kinds of signals are provided by the alarm system's design: an LED that lights up and an alert notification that sounds. To retrieve the pill and reset the alarm button, the user must set an alarm. Four alarms can be programmed to dispense the pills: the second, third, and fourth alarms can all accommodate up to four boxes. The main goal is to maintain the gadget's affordability and simplicity. The programme in use is stable and dependable. This gadget can help the elderly population because it eliminates the need for costly in-home medical care.
