Medimate - Automatic Pill Dispenser

Overview

Medimate is an IoT-based automatic pill dispenser designed to help individuals take their medications on time. The system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with a servo motor and a circular disc mechanism to dispense pills at scheduled times. A web-based HTTPS interface allows users to set and manage their medication schedules.

Features

• Automated pill dispensing based on preset schedules.
• ESP32 microcontroller for wireless connectivity and control.
• Web-based scheduling system for easy configuration.
• Reminder alerts to ensure timely medication.
• Simple and efficient pill loading and dispensing mechanism.

Hardware Components

• ESP32 Microcontroller
• Servo Motor
• Circular Disc Mechanism
• Power Supply Module

Software & Technologies

• ESP32 (Arduino/C++)
• Flask (Python)
• Firebase / Google Sheets API (for scheduling)
• HTTPS-based web interface
• Docker

How It Works

1. User sets up a medication schedule via the web interface.
2. The schedule is stored in Firebase/Google Sheets.
3. ESP32 fetches the schedule and triggers the servo motor.
4. The motor rotates the disc to dispense the correct pills.
5. A notification is sent when pills are dispensed.

Installation & Usage

1. Assemble the ESP32, servo motor, and disc mechanism.
2. Upload the firmware to ESP32.
3. Deploy the Flask server and connect to Firebase/Google Sheets.
4. Access the web interface to configure schedules.
5. The system will automatically dispense pills on time.
