Abstract: This paper purpose the study of device which aims to provide proper and regular medication reminder to patients. It is very essential and necessary to provide medication at time, specifically the aged. This project is essential and useful for the people who dont take medication on time and take it without any close professional supervision. It is a great relief for users who dont tend to take medication on time. The major component of this project is arduino uno, buzzer, RTC, keypad and power supply. The overall operation is to facilitate the user to set the timings to dispense multiple pills at required timings. The Alarm system is designed in such a way so that it can provide two types of indications one by lighting an LED and the other by providing a beep sound to bring in to notice of the user. The user is then required to press the button to get the pill and reset the alarm button. The major objective is to keep the device simple and cost efficient. The software used is reliable and stable. Elder and old people are highly relieved from this device as it avoids expensive in-home medical care. This system is designed with a motive that it helps to ensure that medications and vitamins are taken properly and on time. This project can create new pathways between Local Authorities, Hospitals and Community Pharmacies to ease the way of medication consumption for patients who have to deal with complex medicine timetables.
