MEDICINE KIOSKS

Abstract

Device can fetch out the medicines automatically for the basic common
symptoms, and the medicines provided by the machine are only for the timely relief
and in emergency case

The aim of this project is that people would be able to access the drugs via
patient kiosks in public places such as drug stores, malls, bus / railway stations, on
highways, areas where medical stores are limited. Regular replenishment can help
in not only tracking usage pattern and thus taking precautionary measures but also
ensure availability of drugs 24x7.

Diagnosis is always a concern for the people living in rural area. At the same
time medicine availability also has a major impact excluding the factor about
complete cure. The aim of this prototype is that temporary relief is to be given out
that can give people a better chance for resisting the health from withdrawing before
they are able to reach doctor. Major advantage is that people would be able to access
the drugs via patient kiosks in public places such as drug stores, malls, bus, railway
stations, on highways, areas where medical stores are limited.

1. Design of Automatic Medication Dispenser

It is necessary to provide medication to the aged in time. Automatic medication dispenser is
designed specifically for users who take medications without close professional supervision. It
relieves the user of the error-prone tasks of administering wrong medicine at wrong time. The
major components of this medication dispenser are a microcontroller interfaced with an
alphanumeric keypad, an LED display, a Motor Controller, an Alarm system, a multiple pill
container and dispenser. The overall operation is to facilitate the user to set the timings to
dispense multiple pills at required timings. The Alarm system is designed to provide two types of
indications – one by lighting an LED and the other by providing a beep sound. The user is
required to press a button to get the pill and reset the alarm button. The second alarm is to
indicate the optimal availability of the pills in the container to warn the user to refill the dispenser
with the required quantity of pills. The major objective is to keep the device simple and cost
efficient. The software used is reliable and stable. Elderly population can benefit from this device
as it avoids expensive in-home medical care.

2. Smart Medication Dispenser

This paper proposes a novel idea to provide the information automatically to patients to take their
right dosages at appropriate time. Now a day, most of the patients may forget to take their
medicines as per the prescription due to mental stress. Hence, it may cause prolong period to
recover from the diseases. Sometimes, the aged patients are gulping tablets and their dosage level
incorrectly causing a severe problem. Therefore, it is necessary to the patient to take proper
medicines at precise quantity and time. To overcome these problems, a novel Smart Medication
Dispenser (SMD) system is proposed. This system uses 4x4 matrix keypad, Microcontroller,
LCD display and Real Time Clock (RTC) module, GSM module and an alarm system used to
intimate the patients to take proper dosage according to the prescription at right time. This
portable and economical SMD system would help aged patients, especially to the illiterate
patients.

3. An Intelligent Patient Medicine Reminder System

The aim of this project is to remind individuals who forget to take their medicines on time.
Elderly people because of their age typically forget about to take their drugs. This project will
support to remind the patient to take his/her medicinal drug at prescribed time. The proposed
system is best suited for elderly persons and those who're very busy, as this device will now not
most effective remind them of their drug treatments with a buzzer sound however also shows the
call of the medication to be taken at that time. The patient can store the respective time of the
unique medicine by a matrix keypad. Based on an RTC (Real Time Clock) interfaced to the
microcontroller, the programmed time for medicinal drug is displayed on the LCD in conjunction
with a buzzer sound to alert the patient approximately taking the best medicine. The
microcontroller used in this challenge is of 8051 family. RTC used maintains a correct time as it
is supported with the assistance of a crystal.
Existing System:

Most of times patients may forget to take the medicines at proper time as per the specified in the
prescription which may cause in late recovery from the disease/illness. So it is necessary to take
proper medicines in proper quantity at proper time. In this paper we introduce an Android based
application for the patients. This application will remind their user to take proper medicines in proper
quantity at proper time by automatically setting the reminders in the mobile. These reminders will be
automatically set by the application as per the prescription. This reminder will remind their user
patient that now it’s time to take the medicine.

Proposed System:

The aim of this project is that people would be able to access the drugs via patient
kiosks in public places such as drug stores, malls, bus / railway stations, on
highways, areas where medical stores are limited. Regular replenishment can help
in not only tracking usage pattern and thus taking precautionary measures but also
ensure availability of drugs 24x7.

Diagnosis is always a concern for the people living in rural area. At the same
time medicine availability also has a major impact excluding the factor about
complete cure. The aim of this prototype is that temporary relief is to be given out
that can give people a better chance for resisting the health from withdrawing before
they are able to reach doctor. Major advantage is that people would be able to access
the drugs via patient kiosks in public places such as drug stores, malls, bus, railway
stations, on highways, areas where medical stores are limited.
