With the rise of technology in various activity branches, we observed a considerable advancement in medicine, both in the sense of the diagnosis, as in the quantity and variety of drugs for different types of treatments. And thus today, there are people who take great drugs cocktails, thus requiring some assistance to the administration of this medication. Looking from this point of view, the proposal was born of Mempills, a device able to store and manage pills to be consumed at a specific time selected by the user. By using concepts of electronics, we have a pouch, which is busy with a stepper motor, a servo motor on each input pills - to ensure that you will be putting in right place - GPRS for sending SMS and a user interface with LCD display. To remind the patient to take the medication, a text message is sent to the registered mobile phone, and a horn sound is triggered. The main aim of this project is to create a robust equipment and easy to use for any type of user, assisting in the management and control of prescription drugs.
