Medication adherence is a significant challenge, especially for elderly patients and those with chronic conditions, leading to critical health complications and increased healthcare costs. This research paper presents the design and implementation of an automatic pill dispenser system aimed at improving medication compliance using an Arduino Uno microcontroller. The system incorporates a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module to maintain accurate timing, an LCD display for user interaction, and a servo motor to dispense the pills. The device is programmed to dispense the correct dosage at predetermined times, alerting the user with an audible alarm and displaying relevant information on the LCD screen. This paper details the hardware components, software algorithms, and the integration process of the system. Initial testing demonstrates the system's reliability and ease of use, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance medication management for patients. Future enhancements could include internet connectivity for remote monitoring and integration with mobile applications for better user interface and control.
