There are several challenges that elderly people face, one of the most common being taking their medication on time. Often, they forget to take their medication or struggle to recall whether they have already taken it. This can sometimes lead to overdosing and severe medical complications. While there are several expensive medicine dispensers available on the market, many elderly individuals around the world are unaware of such products and continue to store their medications in simple boxes. Although various types of medicine dispensers are commercially available, they often have several drawbacks that need to be addressed. The IoT-based smart pillbox device with a robotic arm is designed to help solve this problem. It includes a medicine dispenser, a robotic arm, an alert system with voice reminders, a user interface displaying prescription details, keys for setting alert timings, and an IoT platform that allows access to medication information from anywhere in the world.
