Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a smart medication management system developed using an Arduino and ESP8266 microcontroller platform. The system is designed to assist elderly patients in adhering to their prescribed medication schedules by automatically dispensing medication doses at predefined times, while also supporting manual dispensing requests. In addition, the solution integrates a wearable device attached to the patient’s arm, built with vital sign monitoring sensors (such as heart rate, temperature, and fall detection sensors), which continuously track the patient’s health status and generate alerts in emergency situations, such as falls. A mobile application, connected via the ESP8266’s Wi-Fi , allows caregivers to remotely configure and monitor the system. Furthermore, the system provides options to send SMS notifications or make emergency calls when dangerous conditions are detected. By combining IoT connectivity, real-time health monitoring, and automated medication dispensing, the proposed system enhances patient safety, ensures medication adherence, and reduces the risk of health complications among elderly individuals
