Abstract
With the elderly population rapidly increasing and memory issues such as
Alzheimer's becoming more common, there's a pressing need for solutions to
help seniors manage their medications and health. The MediMate project aims to
address these challenges by creating a comprehensive system for medication
intake and vital signs monitoring.
Firstly, a medication scheduling machine is at the core of the system. This
machine schedules medication doses at specific times throughout the day based
on the patient's needs. Users or their caregivers can input dosage information,
including timing , through a mobile application.
Secondly, vital signs monitoring is integrated into the system. Sensors measure
important indicators like temperature, blood oxygen level (SpO2), and heart rate
(BPM). This data is displayed on an LCD screen and transmitted to a mobile app.
An alert system ensures medication adherence (buzzer, mobile notification) it's
time to take a medication.
Additionally, a water dispenser is incorporated into the system for medication
consumption. Sensors detect water levels and notify the caregiver when they are
low.
To maintain security and privacy, access to the machine is secured with
fingerprint, preventing unauthorized access.
