MED-Alert: An IoT device

Medicines are the primitive solution for the prevention and cure for most of the diseases. Many risky diseases can be cured and prevented with the use of proper medication. Therefore, it is mandatory to take the medicine at the prescribed time. If a patient does not take his medications on time, there can be certain adverse effects. To overcome this, the Med-Alert provides an intimation about the right medication to be consumed at the prescribed time through audio-visual alerts along with an E-Mail sent to the user's smartphone. For the audio alert, a buzzer is used. Whereas for the visual, LED is used as the reminder. In-spite of the alerts from the system, if the patient does not take the pills, an E-mail is sent to a member of the family, so as to remind the patient to take the medication. The system generates a report of the patient's medicine intake routine and E-Mails it to the concerned doctor weekly.
