The main aim of this project is to remind patients to take their medicines at prescribed time. This device not only reminds patients about their medicines with a buzzing sound, but also displays the name of the medicine to be taken at that time.
A patient can store respective time for taking a particular medicine through a matrix keypad. Based on the RTC (Real Time Clock) interfaced to a microcontroller, the programmed time for the medicine is displayed on the LCD display along with a buzzer sound to alert the patient about taking the appropriate medicine. The microcontroller used in this project is of 8051 family.
The RTC is used to maintain accurate time as it is supported by a crystal.
This project in future can be enhanced by integrating it with GSM technology, so that the patient receives a reminder via SMS on his/her cell phone about the medicine he/she has to take. Also a provision to change the name of medicine can be incorporated by interfacing the device with a PC or EEPROM (non-volatile memory).
