The Design of the Intelligent Medicine Box for the Elderly

With the increase in the number of elderly people in the world, the problem of population aging has gradually become prominent. People are paying more and more attention to the elderly, and medical supplies for the elderly have also attracted great attention. At present, various intelligent medical boxes have appeared in the domestic and foreign markets. These medicine boxes mainly include functions such as setting time, reminding to take medicine regularly, and SMS notification service. This project designed an intelligent medicine box, which is based on 80C51 single-chip microcomputer, loaded with infrared on-beam sensor, three-axis acceleration sensor, short message module, and Bluetooth module. The main functions of the system include intelligent detection module, timing reminder function, short message notification module and anti-fall detection module. On the one hand, the intelligent system can monitor and remind the elderly to take medications in time. On the other hand, it can also monitor the personal safety of the elderly alone at home. This is different from the current intelligent medical box on the market and is also the highlight of the system.
