Abstract: This paper discusses a smart medicine dispenser prototype. The purpose of the system is to enable patients, especially the aged, to take their medication as needed without fear of forgetting their doses. Additionally, it exposes individuals to minimal risk related to overdosing or underdoing. Abusing medication could result in fatal consequences, such as severe illness or even death and a slower recovery pace. However, all these issues can be mitigated with the use of a smart medicine dispenser, which sends alerts to the patient reminding them to take the appropriate amount in the appropriate manner. Its immediate capability to alert a caregiver in the event of a dose being missed also allows for liberal contact between patients and caregivers.
