Abstract With the intensification of the aging of our country’s population, the health care of the elderly has become a social problem that must be solved in my country. Elderly people often suffer from chronic diseases and need long-term medication. However, it is difficult for the elderly to take medicines on time and in doses due to deterioration of their physical functions. Based on the above background, the project team researched and designed a smart medicine box that can intelligently remind and automatically dispense medicine. The device is mainly divided into four functional modules: medicine dispensing module, medicine taking module, medicine dispensing module, and control module. It realizes the five basic functions of medicine addition, temporary storage and sealing, medicine absorption, automatic medicine dispensing, and timing reminder and Additional features such as data sharing.
