Integration of embedded and IOT for smart pill dispenser in healthcare

Healthcare advancements frequently outpace supporting technologies, leading to inefficiencies in medication management. Conventional systems rely on manual processes, resulting in missed doses, errors, and a lack of health monitoring features. This study introduces an IoT-based smart pill dispenser to overcome these challenges. The system automates medication dispensing using an embedded controller, ensuring accurate dosages at scheduled times while minimizing errors. Fingerprint authentication enhances security, restricting access to authorized users. Integrated health monitoring sensors track vital parameters like heart rate, ECG, fall detection, and blood oxygen levels, providing real- time feedback. Simulated with Proteus software, the system promotes patient safety, adherence, and improved healthcare outcomes.
