Abstract
This project presents a Home Medication Dispensing System (HMDS) prototype. The main purpose of this system is to help the patients, primarily seniors, take their medications on time in an easy way without the possibility of missing pills, also reduce the risk of over or under dosing accidentally. Not taking medications correctly can have serious consequences such as delayed recovery, illness and even death. The Home Medication Dispensing System (HMDS) could solve such problems by informing and alerting the patients to take the appropriate dose at the right time. Also, it provides direct communication between the patients and the caregivers as it will immediately notify the caregiver in case the patient missed his/her pill. In addition, SMR provides the user with a touch interface available as an application on their smartphone which will allow them to remotely manage and control pill schedules and usage data.
