Abstract

This project presents the development of a smart medication dispenser designed to assist patients in managing their medication schedules effectively. The system incorporates an Arduino microcontroller, an IR sensor, a servo motor, and a buzzer to automate the dispensing process while alerting the user at the correct time. By relieving the user from the error-prone tasks of interpreting medication directions and administrating medications accordingly, the device can improve the rigor in compliance and prevent serious medication errors. By taking advantage of scheduling flexibility provided by medication directions, the device makes the user's medication schedule easy to adhere and tolerant to tardiness whenever possible.The project includes hardware and software integration, testing, and evaluation to ensure reliability and efficiency.
