Solutions and Final Design
A stepper motor-driven rotating mechanism ensures that the correct pill compartment is dispensed at the right time, and low-power LED indicators alert the user when it’s time to take their medication. This integration of technology ensures a streamlined, efficient, and error-free medication process.
App Integration
It utilizes cutting-edge IoT technology, allowing it to communicate with a mobile application for tracking and scheduling medication intake. The device is equipped with sensors to detect when medication is taken, ensuring that the user adheres to the prescribed schedule.
