1. Time Management and Alarm System: The Smart Medibox incorporates a real-time clock (RTC) module that tracks the current time based on the local timezone. Users can easily set and cancel alarms to receive timely reminders for taking their medications. The alarms are fully customizable, allowing for multiple alerts throughout the day based on the user's medication schedule. This ensures that users never miss a dose, enhancing adherence to prescribed treatments.
2. Automated Shading Mechanism: To maintain the optimal storage conditions for medications, the Smart Medibox includes a temperature and humidity sensor (e.g., DHT11). Based on real-time environmental data, the system automatically adjusts the angle of the shading mechanism to protect the medicines from excessive heat or humidity. This feature is crucial for medicines that require specific storage conditions, especially in varying climates, where external factors can impact their efficacy.
3. Manual Override: While the shading mechanism operates autonomously, users have the option to manually control the shade via a simple interface, ensuring flexibility and ease of use. This dual control mechanism ensures that the system remains user-friendly while still offering smart automation features.
4. Display and User Interface: The device comes equipped with an OLED display, providing users with clear visibility of the current time, alarms, and environmental conditions within the medibox. The intuitive display ensures that users can easily interact with the system, set their preferences, and monitor their medication schedules.
5. Remote Monitoring and Control (Phase 2): In the advanced phase of the project, Node-RED integration has been implemented to allow for remote monitoring and control of the medibox. Users can track the status of their medication schedules, check environmental conditions, and adjust settings via a web-based dashboard. This feature is particularly useful for caregivers who need to monitor the medication routines of elderly or dependent individuals remotely.
