​Abstract

​In day to day life, we come across IOT technology in many fields but in a medical/health care IOT is a slowly adopting one. It keeps the people safe and healthy where the main purpose is to decrease the cost of health care treatment in the future. Generally, most of the health issues are due to the ir-remembrance of medicine consumption at the right time. This paper aims to help the patients to get the regular dosage through the smart medicine box for regular health care checkup. This system helps for both elderly and visually impaired people based on voice recognition system, Secondly an alarm/buzzer system is provided for their remembrance along with a GMAIL/SMS notification in case of their loss of remembrance. This will provide the patients to take medicines in a proper scheduled time to keep them healthy and easy to adapt.

Keywords: Internet of Things; Health care; Medicine box; Voice recognition.
