The Medication Dispenser facilitates the daily intake of medications, allowing complete treatments to be programmed, as well as ensuring that they are taken through various components that monitor the process.
Dispensador de Medicamentos
Characteristics
The project in question is made up of two well differentiated parts; on the one hand, the drug dispenser that contains all the hardware components as well as being the "brain" in charge of controlling all the physical components. On the other hand, the management system that allows, through a web application, to schedule medication taking times, control, monitor and configure any aspect of the dispenser and its environment.
Environmental monitoring not only makes it possible to check the environment in which the user of the system lives, but it also serves to review the status of medications and prevent their deterioration.
In addition, it is not only intended to develop a system that allows to control the taking of medications, but also has the necessary functionalities that allow knowing if the medication corresponding to a specific schedule has really been taken and function as a environmental control station. That is, it allows to know the environmental temperature, humidity, gas detection or if the dispenser has received some kind of blow or fall.
Such a system wouldn't be of much help without a Notification system. For this reason, it is also intended to incorporate a Notification system that allows users of a specific dispenser to be informed of possible anomalies in the environment of the pillbox or if a scheduled medication has actually been taken.
