In an era where technology assists in various aspects of life, healthcare remains a critical domain that can benefit significantly from IoT innovations. SmartPill aims to bridge the gap between technology and daily medication management, offering a seamless and user-friendly solution for the elderly and their caregivers.
Problem StatementThe challenge of medication adherence is particularly acute among older adults, many of whom suffer from memory decline or have a negative disposition towards regular medication intake. This leads to missed doses, health complications, and increased healthcare costs, presenting a significant problem for individuals and the healthcare system alike.
ProposalWe propose HelloPill, an intelligent pill dispenser designed as a mobile phone cover, which connects to a mobile application. This solution is not just a reminder tool; it's a comprehensive medication management system that empowers users and their families to monitor and manage their health effectively.
The SmartPill dispenser will feature:
• Automated Reminders: Alerts for medication times, ensuring doses are not missed.
• Treatment Tracking: A log of medication intake, providing a clear view of the treatment progress.
• Medication Refill Alerts: Notifications for low pill counts, prompting timely refills.
• Family Monitoring: Allows family members to track the user's medication adherence.
• Healthcare Integration: The ability to share data with healthcare providers for better care coordination.
The mobile application will be intuitive, catering to the needs of seniors with ease-of-use as a priority. It will also provide educational content to improve the user's attitude towards medication and promote a healthier lifestyle.
