Abstract

These projects is “Smart e-Pills Medication Reminder” where it is design because from the survey, people are always busy with that their schedule that they tend to forget about their medication. There is much medicine storage available in the market with different design and sizes but this storage do not have the reminder to remind us of our medication. These storage maybe practical and convenient to the normal people but not to disable people, these people especially blind people are unable to see the medicine box thus it will be hard for them to know which pills to consume and at what time. They have to rely on other people to remind them about their medication and help them with it. It is also difficult for them to search for their medicine box in case they lost it somewhere. I did some background study to further increase the understanding of the problem and figure out the best solution to overcome it. So, I had come up with a design for the product and built a small, lightweight and portable medicine box from combination of materials like nylon, plastic and aluminum. This box is equipped with an electronic reminder, remote finder, pills compartment and pill splitter. The reminder uses buzzer to produce alarm sound to the MEDBOX Reminder to help remind the blind people of their medication time. The remote finder is a feature added in the MEDBOX Reminder that will help the blind people to locate the MEDBOX Reminder if they were to misplace it. The remote finder consists of transmitter and receiver. Once the button of the remote finder is push, the MEDBOX Reminder will produce a song which indicates the location of the MEDBOX Reminder. With the smart e-Pill medication reminder blind people will never miss their medication time again.
