The overall aim is to facilitate the user setting the timings to dispense multiple pills at required times. The Alarm system is provides two types of indications providing a beep sound and lighting an LED. To get the pill the user is required to press a button and reset the alarm button. The second alarm indicates the availability of pills and to warn the user to refill the dispenser pills with the required quantity.

Lack of awareness will hamper the automatic pill dispenser market

Incase, a hospital staff member programs the wrong dose of a drug and an overdose is given, a patient can have difficulty breathing and may die. Critical mistakes result in unnecessary fatalities made by hospital workers.
Drug dispensing machines may be programmed incorrectly. Many patients in Hospital Pharmacy through computerized IVs are receiving heparin drips, morphine drips and other medicine drips. While the automated systems have helped decrease the medication errors in hospitals, they are not foolproof. This is because humans program intelligent pumps and IVs. So if a nurse in hurry enters the wrong dose into the computerized system, then due to the programming error, medication error will occur. Also, if they set up the technology incorrectly, patients won’t get the drugs they are supposed to be receiving. This is a huge concern for people with diabetes and others with their medication needs. As a result, serious mistakes made by hospital workers can impact patients’ overall health critically.
