Abstract

The Smart Medicine Reminder System is an innovative healthcaresolution aimed at improving medication adherence and reducing missed doses. Built on an Arduino Mega platform, the systemintegrates a 4x4 keypad for user-friendly input of medicationschedules, an RTC module for precise timing, and a 16x2 LCDdisplay to provide clear visual instructions. At scheduled times, thesystem activates a buzzer and a voice alert module (APR33A3) toremind users to take their prescribed tablets. IR sensors monitortablet compartments, detecting whether the tablets have been taken. If a dose is missed, the GSM SIM800L module sends an SMSnotification to a caregiver or family member, ensuring prompt action. This system combines real-time monitoring, reminders, andcommunication features to promote better health outcomes andenhance patient compliance with prescribed medication regimens
