The course of the medicine is often forgotten by patients, which affect their sickness and may even lead to conditions such as paralyzation, coma, or even death. A new device named SMART MEDIKIT will help in solving this current issue. This device is an efficient system that replaces the current problem of paralyzed people who are on daily medication. The proposed system helps the aged people to take their medicines on time without the help of another person. It is a box type small system equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) and consists of seven chambers one for each day in a week. Medicines are kept in these chambers and there is a facility to set the time in which the person has to take the medicine. According to the time that is set on the device there will be a buzzer to alert about the medicine. After the buzzer, the chamber will automatically open and the patient can take their medicine. Once the chamber closes an intimation message will be sent to the close relative and family doctor via any social medium. Also an emergency button is present on top of the box to inform the doctor and close relatives about patient and if any. Key words: Internet of Things (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Controlled Delamination Material(CDM). 1. INTRODUCTION Today healthcare is a big problem faced by the population, due to existence of chronic diseases, and the high cost in medicine etc. Aging populations and the chronic diseases takes up a large amount of healthcare resources. A number of device manufacturers and other players are trying to tackle the problem of handling the medication of old people. This can be done by using the concepts of IoT, Android Application and cloud computing in patient’s or his caretaker’s smart phone, by which they can view the current health status of the patient. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY The SMART MEDIKIT is a box that can help people to take medicines on time. This kit will remind the patient about the medicines according to the time set on the system and partially paralyzed patients can take medicines without the help of another person. This system is more beneficial to patients who are suffering from the disease such as Alzheimer. It is provided with an LCD display to notify the dosage and name of the medicines and also with an emergency switch that will help the patient in any emergency situation.[1] Figure 1 describes about the block diagram of Medikit. It consist of an LCD display which notifies the dosage and name of the medicines and it is also provided with an emergency switch that will help the patient in any emergency situation. The emergency switch is associated with a GSM module through which nearest hospitals and ambulance can be informed that a person needs help in a particular region. The system consist of an AVR microcontroller which is the main part of the system. The system is secured with password so that any unauthorized person cannot make any changes in the system. It also contains a real time clock to evaluate a bell time that we set on the system with the real time. When the bell time and the real time matches buzzer ISSN 2319 - 5975 Volume 8, No.3, April - May 2019 International Journal of Networks and Systems Available Online at http://www.warse.org/IJNS/static/pdf/file/ijns19832019.pdf https://doi.org/10.30534/ijns/2019/19832019
