Abstract

In this highly competitive era, many humans face problems in their day-to-day lives. People find it difficult to take proper medications on time, which may deteriorate their health condition further causing a great trouble to them. This is extremely challenging for the elderly patients, who fail to keep track of their medicines. So in order to overcome this situation, a Medicine Dispensing System has been built which keep track of the dosage and duration between each consumption. Poor eyesight is also one of the major reasons for medicine consumption errors that may lead to wrong dosages, since the elderly people finds it troublesome to read the instruction on the medicine and along with that memory loss is common in old age, due to which decrease in speed of information is retrieved. Hence, this Medicine Dispensing system will help the patients to track their medication and inform them to take the right dosage of medicine at the right time.
