Smart Medkit

Abstract

The medical field plays a vital role in our day-to-day life. In recent years, it achieved a tremendous growth in advancements and technologies. Along with the maladies, the diagnosing and curing techniques are also evolved. Despite these advancements, the death rate due to medical errors has not yet decreased. To reduce these medical errors, we have designed a system which reduces some of the common medical errors such as improper medication timing, under and over dosage of medicines and delay in treatment. This system reminds the patient about their pills using voice message using playback module and speaker and it also dispenses the pills via slot arrangement controlled by stepper motor. If the patient ignores the voice message an SMS alert is sent to the patient’s attender and the caretaker. It also has an emergency subsystem which can be used in case of any emergency situation to the patient and it also allows the caretaker to send the prescribed medicines list to the caretaker via SMS.

Smart heart disease prediction and amalgamation tracking system

“…The leading cause of mortality globally is now cardiovascular disease (CVD), and predicting the occurrence of a heart attack is an extremely complex process that requires extensive medical expertise. The Internet of Things (IoT) integration with medical applications has considerably increased the efficacy of remote hospital management systems for elderly patients requiring long-term care [14]. A group of lightweight, low-powered wireless sensor nodes is used by the wireless body sensor network (WBSN), a key IoT technology in the healthcare sector, to monitor patients [15].…”
