ABSTRACT:
The progress of medicine has brought with it the presence of many potent pills that are to be taken with a great accuracy. If these medications are not taken as ordered under or over medications will occur which can be serious. Also the progress of medicine has increased the longevity of the patients and the people live longer with use of many of these medications. However many times living longer is also complicated with weakness of memory which at times happens even in young age. At this point then at time a patient forgets about taking medications and sometimes does not know if has or has not taken a pill. This is at least worrisome if not dangerous and for these reasons this application introduces an automatic reminder for taking the pills as well as an automatic pill dispenser that is to help people to be able to be notified about timing of their medications and also to dispense them regularly. Although the patients with severe degree of impairment of their memory would not be able to use this system. However this is believed to be very useful in helping patients who have some but not a gross impairment of their memory. The inventor presents this as a unit which will help the human beings.
