An Intelligent Medical Box Remotely Controlled by Doctor

Abstract

Now a day's, most of the people are encountered with some health-related problems and they need regular medications. From a survey, about 65% of people forget to take their medicines at right time. To avoid the medication non-adherence, a system has been proposed using an IOT Platform, sensors and with the medical box. An IMB model with wireless connectivity (WiFi module) helps patients and doctors to be in closer communication. The model which has been developed has an intelligent medical setup that alerts the patients to take their medications at the right time. At the same time, the Doctor can check the patient's health condition using the sensors remotely. The sensors used will continuously monitor the patient's health. If there is any variation then the doctor varies the number of pills to be taken. In case if the patient forgets to take the pills even after the alert, then the information of skipped dosages will be available in the server. The doctor can remotely update the medication details in the IOT server and timely updates about medicines are available to patients. This project is claimed to be the best solution for intimating the patient to take medicines regularly and continuous monitoring of the patient's health.
