Abstract :
This Project is aimed at proposing a device which does the work of reminding patients with chronic but curable diseases, to take their medicines every day. A large number of people succumb to diseases which are curable due to negligence of adherence to medicines, especially in rural areas of India where the awareness and importance of adherence of medicines is not known. To evade that, the Government of India has come up with a number of plans and schemas. Yet, they fail to give a successful outcome at some point. Therefore, this paper aims to overcome the cons of the existing system and propose a new idea to make sure that all patients especially the old age ones adhere to the medicine regimen that they have been prescribed. If that happens successfully, it might lead to complete eradication of diseases which are completely curable, and hence are not passed on to the upcoming generations Manan Abhay Kumar | Sahana S | Soumya K.
