Programable IoT Pills Dispenser

The core of this paper is to present an example of use for a growing technology, which is Internet of Things, with an explicit, complete design and implementation of a custom prototyping embedded system capable to automatically dispense pills in the right dose at given intervals. We’ve designed the system for use at home and in hospitals by children, adults, the elderly and even by people with visual impairments. The system has been designed to give access to monitor and control through a phone application with no monthly subscription. The user controls the system using the application and on-board keys to set the distribution range of the pills and the number of pills per interval. Also, alerts are sent when the pills were not removed from the tray. The experimental results were obtained by developing the module and using it to dispense pills at certain predefined intervals.
