A Development of elderly alarm system with automatic drug dispensing box

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to design and develop automatic drug dispensing boxes, 2 ) to development of elderly alarm system with automatic drug dispensing box and 3) to evaluate efficiency of automatic drug dispensing boxes systems. This system is analysis, design and development to alert the elderly when they forget to take pills from the automatic with correctly medication on time. The develop system was a mobile application. The System development based on the development cycle of the Waterfall Model and a program for developing the application was Arduino and Blynk, Node MCU V3 LUA based ESP8266-12E board for connect the device to the WIFI, SG90 servo moto for controlling the direction of the drug flow, Infrared sensor for detect objects falling, buzzer module for sending an alert and Arduino program for writing commands on the board ESP8266. Analysis and design results was that there were 4 processes, namely the installation of the control unit. Assigning licenses Schedule your medication and notify when forgetting to take medicine. There are two main working parts, admin and system user. The quality of the analyzed and design developed by 3 experts, the overall system quality assessment was at a good level (x� = 4.15 S.D. = 0.43) and 30 elderly people in Talat Phlu community, the overall system quality score was at the good level (x� = 4.13 S.D. = 0.72).
