Abstract
This Paper Highlights the development of a Smart Medicine Storing and Delivering Tray system with a unique patient identification by using a RFID technology and a dosage monitoring system enabled by Internet of Things technology. The Smart medicine tray consists of four plastic boxes which are mapped to the individual patients in a particular room. Every box has its own RFID card, which can only facilitate its open and close operations. The Box has a Servo Motor and an IR sensor attached to it. The System is controlled by an ATMega 2560 microprocessor. The opening and closing of the box is done by the servo motor which in turn is operated by the microprocessor signal. This action is possible when the RFID reader correctly identifies the RFID card of a particular box. The presence of medicine in the box is sensed by an Infra-Red (IR) sensor. When the last medicine pill is lifted, the Infrared sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor, which sends it to the Wi-Fi Module. Thus a message is sent to the online Internet of Things platform (named ThingSpeak) thereby signifying that a dosage has been delivered. From this platform the message can be viewed by the doctor in charge, the nurse or even the patient’s kin.
