“…The monitoring technique used in [8] [10] [18] relies on sending messages alerts to the patient's caretaker or doctor if he/she does not take his/her scheduled pill. In addition to sending an SMS to the caregiver, [8] uses IR sensors in the compartments, whenever the sensor detects a presence, the pill is supposed to be taken. These two methods are useful yet they do not offer detailed medication tracking.…”

The challenge to guarantee healthy aging has become a major social concern. Due to the cognitive deficits related to age, hectic daily activities, and multiple medications prescriptions, the elders often tend to forget their pills intakes. This has a colossal impact on their health and life. Moreover, the recent pandemic of COVID-19 has accentuated the importance to provide independent and autonomous living for the elderly. This paper presents a pill management system based on IoT intended for aged individuals. The proposed system is a smart pill dispenser associated with a mobile application. The main actors of the system are the patient, the doctor, the pharmacist, and the patient's caregiver and/or relative, each having restricted access to the system via specific credentials. The prescription is directly edited on the mobile application by the doctor and the scheduling and filling of the pillbox is done wirelessly by the pharmacist. The reminding of medications intakes in this system is done gradually to help the patient adhere to his/her prescription. First, it notifies the patient about his/her scheduled pill by a mobile notification then via the pill dispenser using LCD, LED, and buzzer. The implemented system also allows the doctor and caregiver to keep a tab of the patient's intakes. Furthermore, the pill dispenser is featured with a locking mechanism to ensure medication dosage control and prevent drugs abuse. Experiments show that the proposed system is appreciated by the elderly and encourages them to take their pills successfully and safely without causing any disturbance.Povzetek: Zaradi kognitivnih omejitev, povezanih s starostjo, napornih dnevnih dejavnosti in množice predpisanih zdravil, starejši pogosto pozabijo vzeti predpisana zdravila. Ta članek predstavlja sistem za upravljanje jemanja zdravil, ki temelji na internetu stvari in je namenjen starejšim posameznikom. Predlagani sistem sestoji iz pametnega razdeljevalnika zdravil, ki je povezan z mobilno aplikacijo. Poleg pomoči pri pravilnem jemanju zdravil sistem omogoča tudi nadzor jemanja zdravil s strani svojcev, zdravnikov in negovalcev.

“…The SIM 800 L / SIM 900 AT module which supports quad-band GSM/GPRS network, available for SMS message data remote transmission and GPRS can be interfaced to this program. [9] The application can ask the user if the user wants the application to remind the pills by displaying it on the monitor or by sending to the user's phone an SMS notification or a reminder. It can be made to ask the user whether he/she has taken the pill or not after reminding.…”

This study is aimed to develop a self-managing application for patients. Here, a novel model of an automatic pill reminder that can allay the inconsistency or uncertainty is presented. This application is useful in taking prescribed medications of the right dosage at the exact specified time guided by the medical practitioner. Hence, believed to shift from some particular approaches that are most voluminously resting on the human memory to automate with negligible oversight. So as to relieve people from human miscalculations of giving wrong pills at the wrong clock in the wrong amount.

“…AAL systems are specially designed to prevent, cure, and improve the well-being and health of older people in domestic and residential settings [ 63 ]. These systems combine the use of air quality and medical sensors with other care tools such as medical treatment management systems or reminders to take medication [ 64 , 65 ]. In this way, older people can be more independent in dealing with their health.…”

Context-aware monitoring systems designed for e-Health solutions and ambient assisted living (AAL) play an important role in today’s personalized health-care services. The majority of these systems are intended for the monitoring of patients’ vital signs by means of bio-sensors. At present, there are very few systems that monitor environmental conditions and air quality in the homes of users. A home’s environmental conditions can have a significant influence on the state of the health of its residents. Monitoring the environment is the key to preventing possible diseases caused by conditions that do not favor health. This paper presents a context-aware system that monitors air quality to prevent a specific health problem at home. The aim of this system is to reduce the incidence of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which is triggered mainly by environmental factors. In the conducted case study, the system monitored the state of the neonate and the quality of air while it was asleep. The designed proposal is characterized by its low cost and non-intrusive nature. The results are promising.
