Abstract
An automated reminder mechanism is built in this Android-based application. It emphasizes the contact between doctors and patients. Patients can set a reminder to remind them when it is time to take their medicine. Multiple medications and timings, including date, time, and medicine description, can be programmed into the reminder by using image processing. Patients will be notified through a message within the system, as preferred by the patients. They have the option of looking for a doctor for assistance. In this COVID-19 pandemic situation where nurses have to remind the patients in the hospitals to take their medications, our application can be useful, alerting the patient every time of the day when he/she has to take the medicine and in what amounts. Also, all the necessary tests report and prescriptions can be saved on the cloud for later use. Patients will be provided with doctor contact information based on their availability. Also, patients will be notified of the expiry date of the medicine, and the former history of the medicines can be stored for further reference. The proposed system prioritizes a good user interface and easy navigation. Image processing will be accurate and efficient with the help of powerful CNN-RNN-CTC algorithm. It also emphasizes on a secure storage of the user’s data with the help of the RSA algorithm for encryption and the gravitational search algorithm for secure cloud access. We attempted to create a Medical Reminder System that is cost-effective, time-saving, and promotes medication adherence.
