Inspiration

Many individuals, especially those with chronic conditions or multiple health concerns, are prescribed a complex regimen involving multiple medications. Keeping track of different dosages, and frequencies can be challenging.

A timely automatic medicine dispenser provides an accurate and time-saving solution without human errors or memory limits, contributing to a more streamlined and effective healthcare management process.

What it does

Dispense correct number of pills timely based on schedules from healthcare providers.

How we built it

For the hardware, which consists of sorter, housing and dispenser, the team 3d printed them with PLA. For the controlling system, the team used Arduino.

Challenges we ran into

The stepper motor was not accurate. The dispenser geometry needs to be optimized

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A functional model built within 24 hours which tackles with real life problems for elderly and individuals with neurological disorders an easy solution with medication management

What we learned

3D modelling and printing Arduino programming

What's next for Automatic medicine dispenser

Design graphical user interface Real time synchronization of medication schedule with healthcare providers Improve dispensing system Add vibration sorting
