“…At present, there are many types of medicine kits in the market, which are roughly divided into two categories: In the first category, the patient can only manually fill the medicines in the medicine box, and take the medicine. In this process, there is a possibility of accidently taking medicine from a different pill box [14,15] due to lack of memory. Also, they are required to physically attend to collect water to take their medicine.…”

“…With the technical advancements of IoT [3][4][5][6] several reforms have been bought in health care industry [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] such as 'intelligent medicine boxes (iMedBox), Intelligent pharmaceutical packaging (iMedPack), flexible and wearable bio-medical sensor device (Bio-Patch)'and so on. The new awaited feature is towards intelligent pill boxes with automated alert system [13][14][15][16][17]. By applying information and communication technology many of the health care problems can be solved at home [16,17].…”

Untimed medicine administration can always show adverse effects on the health of the person. Many hospitals are restructuring by optimizing medical resources towards home healthcare. The proposed work is carried out to help aged people/ patient to take the required medicine in the right proportion and at the right time at home i.e., transforming health care from hospital centric to home centric. With rapidly growing population, it has become extremely difficult to monitor as well as look after the health of older people who find it difficult to remember of their own medical care. The basic idea is to integrate alarm with light based slot sensing on a normal pill boxes integrated with a water bottle. The design is based on a smart and safe medical box that assists patients in taking their pills on time. A smart system is summed up with a mobile application where one can set multiple times for taking medicines without a caretaker. The nodeMCU module is incorporated in developing the system to coordinate the complete processes of alarming and reminding to take pills from the defined boxes that contains the prescribed medicines for the patient. Each box will have its own timing information which will be continuously compared to real world time. Once the information matches with the real time the buzzer starts blowing thereby indicating the patient to take his medicine.

“…The behavior of processes, inefficiencies, anomalies and inconsistencies in the processes can be perceived by analysts with the help of BPMN diagrams [28]. Here a few examples from literature are Smart home-procurement process BPMN [20] Smart home temperature sensing and management Unified Modelling Language (UML) [21] Temperature sensors management UML [28] Patient health, appointment, ambulance record BPMN [29] Smart grid BPMN [30] Smart pills box Flow chart [31] Smart medicine box Flow chart [32] Noise level management Flow chart We agree with the authors of [33] to develop mathematical frameworks along with graphical models to explain the main components of smart services, the properties of these components and the relationships between them. According to this approach a smart service 'S' can be represented in the form of relation as in the following Eq.…”

Cities are facing challenges of high rise in population number and consequently need to be equipped with latest smart services to provide luxuries of life to its residents. Smart integrated solutions are also a need to deal with the social and environmental challenges, caused by increasing urbanization. Currently, the development of smart services' integrated network, within a city, is facing the barriers including; less efficient collection and sharing of data, along with inadequate collaboration of software and hardware. Aiming to resolve these issues, this paper recommended a solution for a synchronous functionality in the smart services' integration process through modeling technique. Using this integration modeling solution, at first, the service participants, processes and tasks of smart services are identified and then standard illustrations are developed for the better understanding of the integrated service group environment. Business process modeling and notation (BPMN) language based models are developed and discussed for a devised case study, to test and experiment i.e., for remote healthcare from a smart home. The research is concluded with the integration process model application for the required data sharing among different service groups. The outcomes of the modeling are better understanding and attaining maximum automation that can be referenced and replicated.

“…The use of a motor driver allows dispensing pills according to dose, but the device has less mobility due to the high-power consumption by the single board computer and the space requirements by the motor which also contributes to the large size of the device. A similar approach was attempted in designing a microcontroller-based device with fail safe application [13]. Alarms are generated from medicine boxes and mobile applications that can be downloaded on the caregiver's phone for monitoring purposes.…”

Adherence to prescribed medication affects global clinical practice especially on chronic disease management resulting in adverse medical and economic burden. Reliable standard and practice in measuring adherence among patient is yet to be established clinically although aspects from user behavioural, clinical needs and technology-assisted devices design have been studied. Lack of real-time monitoring and inefficient method of medication consumption validation has been identified as the challenges in monitoring patient medication consumption’s pattern. The aim of this study is to design and deploy an IoT driven medication adherence manager. The proposed IoT architecture enabled by real time monitoring through a multi-sensor alert option in medicinal compartment to ensure adherence integrity. The reliability of the proposed device further enhanced with the mobile application and cloud storage and usage analytic support application. The medication adherence manager expected to digitize the medication consumption process thus improving the patient health and well-being at the same time reduce pharmaceutical wastage due to nonadherence.
