Design and prototyping of an automated didactic medicine dispenser

Abstract

This project focuses on the principles of Arduino UNO, which is an open-source electronic platform that helps build a wide variety of projects without having expert programming knowledge. It is known that medicine, treatments and medications in general are constantly evolving thanks to the advancement of technology and science; therefore, this project has focused on that area through the construction of a medical dispenser that can contribute to the experience of the employees and the user. Each user will have an identification document with their predefined treatments and medications so that they can personally purchase all these products by simply placing their card near the dispenser, it will read the information and return the product. In short, having an Arduino as the brain of this project can facilitate any day-to-day task and help create devices that can regulate any dispensing process, reduce costs, and help people get their product without waiting too many hours in a hospital, primary reason for the construction of this project.
