Aims: This paper presents the development and implementation of a Smart Medication System (SMS) integrated with a mobile application, controlled by an STM32 microcontroller. The aim of the Smart Medication System project is to automate the dispensing of medications, ensure timely reminders for users, and provide a secure and convenient payment method through an integrated mobile application and an STM32 microcontroller. The system seeks to enhance medication adherence, improve user convenience, and streamline the management of medication schedules and payments.
Study Design: The study design involves the development and
integration of hardware components such as an STM32 microcontroller, MG995
servo motor, keypad, LED display, and RFID card reader, with a mobile
application for remote medication management and notifications. The system's
functionality is evaluated through initial testing to ensure accuracy in
dispensing, secure transactions, and seamless user interaction.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), AIT (Acharya
Institute of Technology), located in Bangalore, India. The duration of the
study spanned twelve months, from October 2023 to June 2024.
Methodology: The methodology for the Smart Medication System
project encompasses both hardware and software development. Initially, the
STM32microcontroller is programmed to control the MG995 servo motor for precise
medication dispensing, process inputs from the keypad, and update the LED
display with available medications. The RFID card reader is integrated for
secure payment transactions. Concurrently, a mobile application is developed to
allow users to select medications remotely, receive SMS notifications about
their medication balance, and monitor their usage. The system is then assembled
and tested in a controlled environment to ensure accurate dispensing, reliable
payment processing, and effective user notifications.
Results: The initial testing of the Smart Medication System
demonstrated high accuracy in medication dispensing, with the MG995 servo motor
reliably delivering the correct dosages. The integration of the STM32
microcontroller with the keypad and LED display provided an intuitive and
responsive user interface. The RFID card reader facilitated secure and
efficient payment transactions, while the mobile application enabled seamless
remote medication selection and timely SMS notifications about medication
balance and usage. Overall, the system showed robust performance, effectively
combining hardware and software components to enhance user convenience and
medication management.
Conclusion: The Smart Medication System successfully automates
medication dispensing, provides secure payment options, and enhances user
convenience through mobile integration. Initial tests confirm its accuracy,
reliability, and user- friendly interface. Future work will focus on system
scalability and incorporating additional health monitoring features.
