Self-Activated Medicaments Dispensing System

Abstract

As the life span of human being is increasing, the age related diseases are also increasing. Lot of time and effort has been spent by the caregivers in taking care of the patients. Giving medicines on time is one of the activities the caregiver is involved with. Designing assistive devices will decrease the burden on the family and caregivers. In this paper we are proposing self-activated medicaments dispensing system to assist the caregivers. This informs patients to take medicine at the prescribed time, dispenses the medicines and informs the caregiver if the patient forgets to take the medicine within scheduled duration. This system is proposed for people who are aged and patients who are suffering from various diseases. The system is designed to make sure that medicine is taken on time with right quantity.
