Portable Medication Reminder: Voice IC

This portable medication reminder uses an 8051 microcontroller to alert users through sound and visual displays to take medicines on time. It allows users to input the time each medicine should be taken via a keypad. An RTC tracks the time and the microcontroller triggers a buzzer and displays the medicine name on an LCD at the appropriate times. This device is well-suited for elderly or busy people who may forget to take their medications. It could later integrate GSM technology to send SMS reminders or connect to a PC for medicine name changes.

PORTABLE MEDICATION REMINDER

AIM:
The aim of this project is to remind people who forget to take their medicines on time by
using 8051 microcontroller through buzzer sound and LCD display, audio signaling.

BLOCK DIAGRAM:

ABSTRACT:
The project acts as a reminder for people to take medicines in time. Keypad is used to
enter the time at which the medicine is required to be taken .The RTC (real time clock) uses
keeps tracking the time to remind the person by a buzzer sound together with the name of the

medicine on the display parallel to the audio signal in the audio signal medicine name is audible.
In the LCD display time also displayed.

DESCRIPTION:
The aim of this project is to remind people who forget to take their medicines on time.
Elderly people because of their age usually forget to take their medicines. This project will help
to remind the patient to take his/her medicine at prescribed time. The proposed system is best
suited for elderly people and people who are very busy, as this device will not only remind them
of their medicines with a buzzer sound but also displays the name of the medicine to be taken at
that time. The patient can store the respective time of the particular medicine through a matrix
keypad. Based on an RTC (Real Time Clock) interfaced to the microcontroller, the programmed
time for medicine is displayed on the LCD along with a buzzer sound to alert the patient about
taking the appropriate medicine. The microcontroller used in this project is of 8051 family.
RTC used maintains an accurate time as it is supported by a crystal. This project in future can be
enhanced by integrating it with GSM technology, so that the patient receives a reminder about
the medicine he has to take via SMS on his/her cell phone. Also a provision to change the name
of the medicine can be incorporated by interfacing the device with a PC or EEPROM (non-
volatile memory).

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:


8051 series microcontroller. Keypad, RTC, Keil compiler,
Battery, Buzzer, LCD, Diode, Resistors,
capacitors. Language: Embedded C or Assembly.

RESULT:

This kind of project is very effective and can be used to remind the medicine for both
educated & uneducated people over come by the mobile reminder.
