IoT Based Intelligent Medicine Box with Assistance Vikas Anna Mali1 M.Tech in Electronics Engg., Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli -----------------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract In this paper, the intelligent medicine box has been designed. This medicine box stores the medicines and which alerts and remind to patients to take the medicines time to time. So that it avoids the health hazards due to negligence of not taking medicines time to time. Also in this paper different health parameters such as pulse rate, blood pressure and temperature and ECG of heart are measured. These parameters are sent to firebase IoT. Doctors can monitor health parameters on firebase website and accordingly decisions can be taken about patient treatment.
Key Words Firebase IoT, Health monitor, ECG Sensor, Temperature Sensor, Pulse Sensor
Introduction Now days, global aging and the prevalence of chronic diseases have become a common concern. Many acountries are undergoing hospital restructuring by reducing the number of hospital beds and increasing the proportion of home healthcare. A promising trend in healthcare is to move routine medical checks and other healthcare services from hospital (HospitalCentric) to the home environment (Home-Centric). By doing so, first, the patients can get seamless healthcare at any time in a comfortable home environment; second, society’s financial burden could be greatly reduced by remote treatment; third, limited hospital resources can be released for people in need of emergency care. In-home healthcare and services can drastically reduce the total expenditure on medical care or treatment. In order to track the physical status of the elderly and, in the meanwhile, to keep them healthy, the following two daily tasks are essential: 1) real-time monitoring and analyzing vital signs to early detect or predict life-threatening adverse events; and 2) checking whether they are following their prescribed treatment, including taking their prescribed medicine on time. Medication adherence is the degree to which a patient correctly follows the medical advice and Medication non-adherence is referred to negligence and delays in taking your medicines, not following your prescriptions or even neglecting medication. Medical Non-adherence also refers to altering medications and taking medications in combinations. Studies show that in developed countries, medical adherence is about 50%. The situation in developing countries is even worse. The problem of medication non-adherence is critical because of 1) Forgetfulness in the case of elders, 2) Inability to read and understand the prescription and the names on the medicines, and 3) Lack of resources and knowledge to utilize the various mobile based medication reminder applications. Medication non-adherence can have severe negative consequences for the patient. It may lead to adverse outcomes like health related problems, and even increased duration of treatment with higher cost. The available solutions can be divided into Software based and Hardware based methods. The device proposed in this project is a hardware based solutions. It is required to be fed in with the medication pills and their schedule by the doctor, the doctor’s assistant or some literate family member (caretaker). The device then notifies the medicine to the patient at the required time.
Literature Review The use of health monitoring systems by skilled clinicians with critical care experience will reduce the hospitalization rate, save large amounts of money, provide more effective home health management for patients with diabetes, and improve the health care system in general by reducing the use of inpatient services .Decision-Support System (DSS) frameworks provide the mechanism with which clinical data from tele health devices is analyzed. This paper will also show the importance of DSS in tele health management systems for all patients with a chronic disease, not just those with diabetes .Tele health systems are a practical and cost-effective way of providing care to chronically ill patients by enhancing health care providers ability to provide quality care in patients‟ homes and delay, or sometimes even eliminate, the need for expensive hospital admissions or
