Abstract
Healthcare and medical endeavor are advancing rapidly, and it is rather tricky for technology to support its pace. This paper presents an IoT-based innovative medicine dispenser prototype model. The primary goal of the proposed system is to assist the patients and dependent senior citizens in taking their medications on time without fail, quickly, and more importantly, without the possibility of missing pills, and to eliminate a random chance of over or underdosing. Inaccurate medications can have severe effects such as late recovery, severe disease, also even deceased. The medicine dispenser could resolve such difficulties by alarming the patients to correctly and accurately take suitable meditation. Additionally, it delivers instant communication between the caretakers and patients as it will instantaneously ring the alarm signal when the patient's medication is due. It has evolved vital to take care of the aged and those with poor health conditions in today's era. Hence, the medicine dispenser solves this issue by making the patient self-dependent and reducing contrary situations.
