It is necessary to provide medicines to the elderly over time. The Automatic Medication Dispenser is designed specifically for users who take medications without close professional supervision. It relieves the user from the error prone tasks of administering the wrong medicine at the wrong time. The main components of this drug dispenser are a microcontroller that connects with an alphanumeric keypad, an LED display, a motor controller, an alarm system, a multi-pack container and dispenser. The general operation is to facilitate the user to establish the times to dispense multiple pills in the required times. The alarm system is designed to provide two types of indications, one illuminating one LED and the other, emitting a beep. The user must press a button to get the pill and reset the alarm button. The second alarm is to indicate the optimal availability of the pills in the container to warn the user to refill the dispenser with the required amount of pills.
Caring for the elderly is a matter of grave concern in developing countries. Family members are responsible for the care and management of the elderly. In the modern age it is difficult for family members to be available at all times to support the elderly. Today, in our society, most families are nuclear. Elders would prefer to remain independent and their desire for independence in the natural, but it is a concern for their children. Sometimes, despite their best efforts, the elderly do not remember to take their medication on time. The automatic drug dispenser is one such approach to help you take your medications efficiently. As the cost of home health care increases, it has become increasingly incumbent among people to opt for a device that effectively takes care of their medications.
