Abstract
The main objective of our project is to develop a Pill Prompting box using Internet of Things
(IoT). Now-a-days people are suffering with different type of diseases, in order to cure those
diseases doctors were advised them to take daily medicine to prevent from dangerous stages of
that disease. At present, every person is busy in their own daily life and neglecting to take
medicines in preferred time. Improper intake of medicines may lead to serious health issues. So,
in this project we are implementing a pill prompting box which is used to remind the patient or
elder people to take daily dosage medication in preferred time suggested by the doctors. By
taking medicines in given preferred time we can save many lives to some extent. Hence this
project can be used in home for patients, doctors in hospital.
