老年人面临的常见问题是他们往往忘记在正确的时间服药，不知道如何以正确的方式和剂量服药。这些问题对他们来说可能是致命的，特别是对那些患有慢性病的人来说。因此，该项目提出了一种面向老年人的物联网（IoT）智能药丸分配器。这个项目是专门开发，以帮助他们的药物摄入量与正确的剂量在预先设定的时间。该系统允许用户通过使用移动的应用程序来管理和创建药丸时间表。移动的应用程序将通过Firebase与Arduino通信，Firebase充当两个组件的中间数据库。当现时时间到达预设时间时，自动柜员机便会利用发光二极体条及蜂鸣器提醒长者。此外，LED灯带能够每30分钟改变不同的颜色，以提醒老年人服用药物的时间。一旦按下按钮，警报将停止，这导致数据被记录在移动的应用程序中以供用户确认。一个步进电机是用于这个项目旋转分配器在所需的角度，一旦一个按钮被按下。除了它的功能，该系统是便携式的，可以在任何地方使用，如果有互联网连接。
Common issues faced by senior citizens are they tend to forget to take their medicine at the right time, fail how to take the medicine in right way and doses. These problems can be fatal for them especially for those who suffer chronic disease. Hence, this project proposed an Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Pill Dispenser with monitoring system for senior citizens. This project is developed purposely to help on their medication intake with correct dosage at pre-set time. This system allows user to manage and create the pill schedule by using a mobile application. The mobile application will communicate with Arduino via Firebase which act as the intermediate database for both components. Once the current time reached the pre-set time, the dispenser will alert senior citizens by using Light Emitting Diode (LED) strip and buzzer. Besides, the LED strip able to change into different colours for every 30 minutes to remind the senior citizens about the due time of the medication intake. The alert will stop once the pushbutton is pressed which results the data being recorded in the mobile application for user’s acknowledgement. A stepper motor is used for this project to rotate the dispenser at desired angle once a pushbutton is pressed. Apart from its functionality, the system is portable and can be used anywhere and anywhere if there is an internet connection.
