Abstract
IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a system of Internet-connected devices which are capable of sending and receiving the data without human intervention. This technology enabled the remote monitoring in healthcare sector which leads to keep the patients safe and heathy, and ensuring to deliver superlative care. Some people apparently should be taken care by the caretakers and other family members. This is not provided by everyone in today’s life. So, they may forget to take medicines at the right time and may also forget what medicine has to be taken. This project aims to develop a device which alerts the patients to take medicine at right time in an efficient manner. The proposed system has a facility which alerts the patients to take medicine on time and also acknowledges the medicine intake through a Gmail notification. In the proposed system, the alarm is set up with the help of Blynk app indicating the patient to take the medicine. The IR sensor interfaced with the microcontroller unit determines the patient medicine intake. The sensor detects the hand movement of the patient when he opens and takes the medicine from the slot provided. The corresponding message is sent to the caretaker via Gmail based on the IR sensor status.
