Today in society there is a growing need to assist seniors. One very important task is taking prescription medication. There are issues concerning seniors’ ability to remember to take and handle their medicine on their own. Many seniors who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s may not remember when to take their medication or what medication to take. In addition, seniors often have difficulty handling their medication, as pills can be small and their containers difficult to open. In order to provide a solution to these problems, our group of biomedical mechanical engineering students decided to design an automated pill dispenser. This would remind the client when to take their medication and it dispense the necessary medication at specific times during the day. This would prevent the client from forgetting to take their medication, or accidentally taking the wrong medication, while giving seniors increased independence and a better quality of life. This project makes a use of servo motor is used to open and close the door. The LCD screen is placed on the outside of the pill dispenser to let the user know how many pills they must take. The IR sensor will count how many pills have passed through the exit shoot, and this number is displayed on the LCD screen. DHT11 sensor is uses to detect the temperature and humidity values on LCD. A light dependent resistor circuit is used to signal the opening and closing of the door (via servo motor). If the person does not take the pill; GSM module is uses to sending the alert message to the predefine mobile number and activate the buzzer for alerts. The main controlling device of the project is arduino UNO which loaded program written in embedded C language.

     

The main building blocks of the project are:
  • Power Supply.
  • Arduino Microcontroller.
  • GSM.
  • IR sensor.
  • Stepper motor with driver.
  • Buzzer.
  • Dht-11
  • LCD display module
  • LED indicator.
  • LDR.
  Software’s used:  
  1. Arduino IDE Studio Compiler for Embedded C programming.
  2. Express SCH for Circuit design.
