Popis: Patients rely on their medications to keep them healthy, but complex medication schedules can lead to accidental errors like missing doses, incorrect dosage or wrong timing. This paper proposes an idea to provide the information automatically to patients to take the right medication dosages at the prescribed time. This would prevent unexpected hospital visits related to incorrect medication usage. This system uses LCD, microcontroller, real-time clock (RTC) module, an alarm system, a biometric fingerprint scanner and the Blynk software tool used to intimate the patients to take proper dosage according to the prescribed time. Compared to the conventional pillbox that requires users or caretakers to load the box every day or every week, this automated medication dispenser would significantly reduce caretakers or users’ burden on frequently preloading pills for patients.
