Programmable Medication Reminder System

It’s Very Important for Patients Who Must Have Their Medication Permanently and time to time but Sometimes They forget and Need To Be Reminded It also takes into consideration the disabled or aged people that may have problems to remind themselves of the time and the medicine to be taken.

Here we are introducing programmable medication reminder system which has An Ability to Remind People about Dose Time with a buzzer sound but also displays the name of the medicine to be taken at that time. The patient can store the respective time of the particular medicine through a matrix keypad and RTC used maintains an accurate time as it is supported by a crystal.

Block diagram:

The 8051 microcontroller used in this project.By using the keypad, the prescribed timings can be entered, at which the patients have to take medicine. This information is then saved to the microcontroller’s EEPROM, so configuration only needs to be performed once, even if the device is unplugged temporarily.

Based on an RTC (Real Time Clock) interfaced to the microcontroller, the programmed time for medicine is displayed on the LCD and sound a buzzer to alert the patient about taking the appropriate medicine.
