Now days usage of oral medication is very high due to our modern health problems. But due to these busy times, people forget to take medicine at the correct time. This is frequent in the elderly. This could lead to mild to fatal consequences.
-
THE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURES ARE ONLY A MERE ALARM CLOCK THAT CAN HOLD MEDICINE.
- We select this project for elderly people and medicine takers who need to take the medicines at the correct times. Therefore, we used a survey to collect some information.
- FAMILY MEMBERS TAKE MEDICINE-63%
- PATIENT AGE ABOVE 50 - 76%
- PILL TYPE MEDICINE-88%
- FORGET TO TAKE MEDICINE-72%
- THE DEVICE IS TO STORE THE ORAL MEDICATION IN THE FORM OF PILLS. THE USER MUST INPUT MEDICAL DATA THROUGH THE TERMINAL. THE DEVICE STORES SUCH DATA AND USES IT TO REMIND THE USER AT THE TIME TO TAKE MEDICATION. RECORD THE USAGE(TAKING PILLS) OF THE PRODUCT AND GIVE FEED BACK WHEN THE PRODUCT IS NOT ACCESSED TO THE CORRECT PERSON.
