IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
We validated the effectiveness and the advantages of our proposed design by testing both hardware and software. We have divided the validation process in two steps: 1) validating the Microcontroller based dispensing unit and 2) Tracking patient’s adherence to the prescribed medication from the server in two ways a) tracking by central nursing stuff when used within hospital b) tracking by patient’s care taker when used within house.
The reason for choosing LPC2148 is because it has inbuilt RTC which plays the key role in the functioning of device. The 20X4 LCD is chosen to display the following parameters like present time and next dosage time in an effective way. The 30 RPM DC motor is chosen because it provides the required speed i.e a single rotation in 24 hours. We verified the functionality of each module individually and thus obtained the required result effectively. The eMedicare is demonstrated in attached Figure 4.
Tracking patient’s adherence to the prescribed medication from the server is demonstrated in the attached in Figure 5 and 6. Tracking of medication from server gives the patient details and live tracking status.
The cost of the existing medication reminder varies from 6000 to 50000 INR. We …show more content…
The proposed eMedicare overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional system. This smarter device is smaller in size, economical, has a better accuracy, it is compact and less complex in operation. eMedicare is implemented for those who take medications without continuous professional supervision. The proposed system certainly would help all aged patients especially illiterate people to take their medicines on time. This system would also be a feasible solution for the elderly patients struggling to take medicines as per the prescription given by the
