Smart Medication Reminder & Dispenser for the Elderly
Smart Medication Reminder & Dispenser for the Elderly
OH I just remembered that I have fish memory LOL, so I believe it's meant to be for all ages who suffer from forgeting to take their doses and it can be sometimes critical such as taking insulin shots or Antibiotic.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
A 3D-printed, desk-sized device that reminds users to take their medication on time using lights, sounds, and a display — and can dispense a single pill when the user confirms they took it. Uses Arduino, basic sensors, and a servo-driven pill drawer.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

Keypad and switches for input
buzzer and LCD for output and interface
Servo motor on the sides to open and close
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
Auto open and close(dispensing) box
Action: stepper motor
Sensing: RTC module
User Input: none (human interaction).
.
Complete User Features
Timer indicator to calculate the remaining time for the next dose
User Input: Keypad
push button for pill verification.
Nice-to-have User Features
cooling system for specific type of medications (insulin)
Action: Peltier
Sensing: Dallas heat sensor
User Input: none
