ABSTRACT
This research aims to bring one step solution to the people for

1. INTRODUCTION
Medical technology has improved tremendously in the last few
decades. India’s development in the medical field is almost on
par with those of developed countries. It is excruciating
mentally to know that this medical advancement is available
only to metropolitan cities and towns. This vast development
did not reach all the tribes and remote villages. It is a
convenient, faster and safest withdrawal at any time and
anyplace [1].
The problem arises when there is need of some medicine in
urgent and either when drug stores are not open or drug is not
available in stock, especially during night time, also they
cannot take first-aid medicine on their own here we have
doctors to treat them immediately with the first –aid medicine
[4]. Caring of the aged and physically challenged persons are a
serious concern in the developing countries. Family members
are responsible for the care and management of them. In the
modern age, it is difficult for family members to be available
all the time to support them. Today in our society most families
are nuclear. Elderly would prefer to remain independent and
their desire for independence in natural, but it is a worry for
their children. Any Time Medical Assistance and Medicine
Vending Machine is one such approach to help them take their
medicines efficiently. Telecommunication technologies are
found to be effective tools for connecting remote sites. By
opening up new channels for communication, telemedicine
connects rural and remote sites with health-care professionals
around the world, overcoming geographical barriers[3]. This
can be implemented everywhere such as shopping malls. It can
be implemented on National Highways. It can be installed in
Railway stations and bus stand also.
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Medical facilities available in metropolitan cities and towns are
much reachable by the people compared to the people in
the rural areas and villages. Due to insufficient transport
facilities in many places people are not easily approachable to
the hospitals. Senior citizens and physically challenged person
find difficult to travel and also feel exhausted to wait in the
queue for a long time to consult a doctor.
3. RELATED WORKS
3.1 Automatic medicine vending machine
Sarika Oundhakar has presented to his knowledge about the
machinery and technology involved in the most common
vending machines present all over the world. It helps to
increase efficiency by lowering dependence on manpower. The
desired outcome is achieved as per the user’s requirements in
the form of medicines dispensed by the machine. How easier it
would make people obtain medicines from vending machines
rather than waiting in queues for long hours. We also learned
about the functioning of various instruments [5].
3.2 ATM (All Time Medicine) counter for medicine
Malashree.G1et al. proposed the system, in that users may able
to get basic Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicine at any time
(24x7). Minor illnesses have a strange way of inviting people in
the middle of the night when pharmacies are already closed.
Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are a class of medicines sold
