Abstract

The increasing complexity of medication management among the elderly presents significant challenges, including missed doses and medication errors, which can lead to serious health complications and increased healthcare costs. This review examines recent advancements in IoT-based smart medicine boxes designed to enhance medication adherence and improve healthcare outcomes for elderly patients. These innovative devices utilize various technologies, such as microcontrollers, sensors, and mobile applications, to provide timely reminders, secure medication dispensing, and remote health monitoring. Key features include automated alerts for medication schedules, real-time health tracking, and caregiver notifications, ensuring both patient safety and caregiver support. The integration of user-friendly interfaces ensures accessibility for elderly users, accommodating their specific needs, while data storage capabilities allow healthcare providers to monitor adherence patterns effectively. By combining advanced technology with practical functionality, IoT-enabled smart medicine boxes represent a promising solution to address medication non-adherence and improve the overall quality of care for vulnerable populations.
