Abstract

The objective of the paper is to present a smart pill dispenser prototype which would help health workers during this COVID- 19 pandemic. The design of this dispenser is to make medicine available to the patients who are in isolation. The medicine is refilled by a caretaker/medical staff at the dispensing chamber controlled by servomotor. A Buzzer is connected to remind the patient to take medicine. The feature of this prototype confirms that the medicine is taken by using IR sensor at the faucet of the medicine dispenser. Also, by using IoT module, tracking of the medicine consumption is recorded. This paper is focused on two areas, avoiding contact between patient and administration and confirming the intake of medicine.

Keywords
