Abstract

In today’s busy world people may not always be in a position to keep them self updated of their medicine timings. The course of the medicine is often forgotten by patients, which affect their sickness and may even lead to conditions such as paralyzation, coma, or even death. A new device named SMART MEDIKIT will help in solving this current issue. This device is an efficient system that replaces the current problem of paralyzed people who are on daily medication. The proposed system helps the aged people to take their medicines on time without the help of another person. It is a box type small system equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) and consists of seven chambers one for each day in a week. Medicines are kept in these chambers and there is a facility to set the time in which the person has to take the medicine. According to the time that is set on the device there will be a buzzer to alert about the medicine. After the buzzer, the chamber will automatically open and the patient can take their medicine. Once the chamber closes an intimation message will be sent to the close relative and family doctor via any social medium. Also an emergency button is present on top of the box to inform the doctor and close relatives about patient and if any.

使用物联网技术的智能医疗箱

在当今繁忙的世界中，人们可能并不总是能够让他们自己更新他们的服药时间。病人经常忘记服药过程，这影响了他们的病情，甚至可能导致瘫痪、昏迷甚至死亡。一种名为SMART MEDIKIT的新设备将有助于解决当前的问题。这个装置是一个有效的系统，取代了目前瘫痪的人每天服用药物的问题。该系统可以帮助老年人在没有他人帮助的情况下按时服药。它是一个装有物联网(IoT)的盒子式小型系统，由七个房间组成，每周每天一个。药物保存在这些房间里，有一个设备可以设定病人服药的时间。根据设备上设置的时间，会有蜂鸣器提醒药物。蜂鸣器一响，药箱就会自动打开，病人就可以服药了。一旦密室关闭，将通过任何社交媒体向近亲和家庭医生发送提示信息。此外，在盒子的顶部有一个紧急按钮，通知医生和近亲有关病人的情况，如果有的话。
