Abstract
Many elderly individuals face challenges in remembering to take their medications as prescribed, which often leads to health problems. This paper presents the design and implementation of a medical reminder system tailored specifically for the elderly. This system aims to address the challenges faced by the elderly population in adhering to complex medication regimens and timely appointments. The proposed system leverages a combination of hardware and software components to provide timely reminders, medication management features, and emergency contact capabilities. The hardware components include a user-friendly interface, a robust communication module, and sensors for monitoring vital signs. The software component encompasses a user-friendly interface, a comprehensive medication management system, and a secure communication platform. The system is designed to be easily customizable to accommodate individual needs and preferences, ensuring its adaptability to diverse elderly populations. The evaluation of the system demonstrates its effectiveness in improving medication adherence, reducing medication errors, and enhancing overall healthcare management for the elderly.
