Automated Medicine Box
Intro: Automated Medicine Box
Forgetting to take a medication is a common problem in older people and is especially likely when an older patient takes several drugs simultaneously. Around 40% of Patients forget to take medicines and most of them have difficulty to differentiate between multiple medications.
- Patients forgets to take medication
- Patients get confused in taking multiple medications as they look similar.
- Patients don't take medications at correct time
Such thing leads to bad health and now-a-days these cases are increasing day by day and most people think that skipping medications is normal thing, which is bad for their health.
To avoid this I wanted to make a device which automatically gives medicines to the patients.
STEP 1: 3D Design
I have used Autodesk Fusion 360 for Designing and also added initial drawings of system
STEP 2: Overview of System
I am used Raspberry Pi 4 as Main controller with 2 Servos as actuators.
Mobile App is made using Flutter.
And all Medicine Schedule Data is stored in Firebase and is synced on Raspberry Pi
STEP 3: 3D Printing
The models took total of 12 hours to print in PLA at 4% infill . I added Cardboard supports due to failed 3D Prints.
STEP 4: Mounting Motors
Mount both Servo motors using screws and for Door use some Glue
STEP 5: Android App
In the App you can add the Medicine Schedule ,and the data is stored in Firebase.
STEP 6: Run the Raspberry Pi
To start the setup, first connect the circuit and usb speaker. Then run the code from Github Link
