The system consists of three main components:
-
Hardware: The pillbox is equipped with a microcontroller, servo motors for opening compartments, a speaker for audio reminders, and sensors to detect if the compartment has been opened.
-
Software: The software component includes a scheduling system to manage medication times, a notification system to alert caregivers, and an interface for users to input their medication schedules.
-
Communication: The system uses wireless communication (Wi-Fi) to connect the hardware and software components, allowing for real-time updates and notifications.
- Automated Compartment Opening: The system automatically opens the correct compartment at the scheduled time.
