Automated Individualised Remote- Accessible Medication Evaluator And Dispenser (AIRMED)

Elderly and vulnerable persons in our society are frequently on multiple medications, and need constant supervision for correct dosing of drugs. Patients with memory loss or poor comprehensive capacity may suffer complications due to the consumption of the wrong medication, multiple pill bottles, multiple medication schedules, etc which can contribute to medication errors and lead to unpleasant side effects and hospitalization. As a solution to this problem, we have developed an all-in-one care package that includes an automatic pill dispenser with proper pill dispensing and alert mechanisms which help in adequate medicine dosing as well as a heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, and fall detection sensor that can alert the contacts regarding sudden catastrophic health situations. The remote access functionality of the device enables the caretakers or doctors to make alterations in the timing and schedule of medications after consultation and can also order medicines online when supply runs short. This device aims to find a solution to complex medical management in elderly and chronically ill patients and ensure medication adherence leading to optimum health benefits while also giving immense peace of mind to loved ones.
