The main objective of this research is to develop a user-friendly medicine box for patients, ensuring they take the correct medication at the right time. The design allows for easy customization with minor modifications based on specific requirements. Caretakers or family members can enter and update tablet data in the medicine box, including expiry, count, and dosing schedule. Equipped with real-time clock data, the medicine box activates slot-specific LED lights and alarming sounds when it matches the designated medication schedule. These indicators turn off only when the patient takes the correct medicine from the respective slot, detected by ultrasonic sensors. The medicine box also features a reminder system, sending notifications via WhatsApp to the designated caretaker or family member to track medication adherence. Additionally, it includes a repeat button for patients to easily access and retake the previous dose. In case of emergencies, the medicine box is equipped with an emergency button, enabling patients to contact their caretakers or family members promptly. Furthermore, the medicine box automates the medicine ordering process by placing orders when any tablet is nearing its expiry or when the count falls below the minimum required level. Hence, these features ensure patient’s medication taken promptly.
