Abstract--The Smart Medicine Box project leverages NodeMCU technology to create an innovative solution for medication management, aimed at improving adherence to prescribed treatment regimens. This device addresses the common issue of missed doses and medication errors, particularly among the elderly and those with chronic conditions. The Smart Medicine Box is designed to store various medications and dispense them at scheduled times. Utilizing a combination of real-time monitoring and notification systems, the device ensures users are reminded to take their medications on time. NodeMCU, a low-cost open-source IoT platform, facilitates seamless connectivity and remote management through a mobile application. The system includes a user-friendly interface that allows caregivers and patients to set medication schedules, track intake history, and receive alerts for missed doses. By employing sensors to detect pill availability and a locking mechanism to control access, the Smart Medicine Box ensures that medications are both secure and dispensed appropriately. Data collected from the device can be transmitted to healthcare providers, allowing for better management of patient health and facilitating timely interventions when necessary. This project not only aims to enhance individual health outcomes but also to reduce healthcare costs associated with non-adherence.
