Login for More InformationCreate an automated pill dispenser that takes patient medication information and dispenses it at the desired interval.
Project Overview
The desired device requires the design of the pill dispensing mechanism, including the enclosure and associated electronics. The device should hold at least 1 week of medication, automate the process of dispensing the correct dosages and dispense the medications at the correct time. An alert system should be in place such that the user is notified when medication should be taken, ensure the user takes the medication, and provide health care workers the ability to monitor a patient’s prescription usage and supply remotely. In order to provide a novel addition to the existing devices, this device must incorporate the following upgrade: a modular design that will allow for customization based on methods for dispensing atypical medication types. This project will focus on the addition of a crushing mechanism. The development of a preliminary prototype should be accomplished by 12/04/20 and a refined, fully featured prototype by early April.
