Medical adherence is a major concern globally and is increasing with improved access to medication. Unfortunately, patients taking multiple medications often struggle with confusion about when and how to take each medication. To address this issue, an inexpensive domestic device has been proposed to improve medication adherence. This device uses Wi-Fi and cellular Internet of Things (IoT) integration to dispense medication at the prescribed times, making it suitable for use in both home and long-term care settings. The device also includes a web interface that allows users to control the device and make changes to dosage and other related information. Additionally, the device features an intricate system for sorting pills to ensure accurate and efficient medication delivery. Automating medication taking through this device can improve patient adherence and overall health outcomes, which could significantly impact public health and quality of life for patients struggling with medication adherence.

“…The storages were quite small resulting in the need to refill frequently. Karthikeyan et al 103 Proposed an ADM that can find and go to the patient's location and dispense the medicine. Notification will be sent to the user's phone to give access and the room number for the ADM to come and dispense the pills.…”

An automatic system in equipment can be recognized as a systematic control system to minimize human tasks or automatically complete repetitive tasks without human involvement. This review paper focused on the dispensing machines in the medical field particularly the design development of the automated dispensing machines which can be considered as one of the important technologies in pharmacy. This paper also briefly describes the main criteria for fabricating the dispensing machine. Next, different fabrication methods of the dispensing machine such as simple fabrication and 3D printing as well as the materials used in 3D printing are also thoroughly discussed. The last section consisted of the evaluation methods to justify the developed devices by comparing the performance of fabricated products and also through surveys and feedback from patients and medical staff. Based on the performance evaluation of automated dispensing machines as reported in the literature, it can be concluded that the implementation of an automated dispensing machine is necessary for the high-quality guarantee of community healthcare.
