Abstract
This paperpresents an advanced medicine intake monitoring and control system. The proposed system consists on a smart medicine box that is designed to help patients taking their medications on time. Two main features are implemented during the design phase of this system: the first one is the safety feature that will alarm the patient in case of not taking and/or bad dosage taking for medication, will keep the medication out of reach of the children and will be used in case of failure of one of the system’s components whereas the second feature is the low cost of the system. This box will be linked to a phone application that can signal several alarms mainly when the medications are about to finish, the patient forgets to take his medication or he (she) doesn’t take the required dose (or the required number of pills)… This system was tested over 30 different medications and when using ten different mobile phones by more than 25 patients and the results didn’t show any faulty alarms.
