Abstract : The Smart Med Box is an innovative Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled device designed to enhance medication management and adherence among patients, particularly those with complex health needs. By combining automated dispensing with real-time monitoring, the Smart Med Box ensures timely and accurate medication intake. It integrates sensors and connectivity features to track dosage, send reminders to patients, and alert caregivers or healthcare providers in case of missed doses. This makes it ideal for elderly patients, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those requiring post- operative care or strict medication regimens. The device supports improved adherence, reducing the risk of complications from missed medications and enhancing overall patient outcomes. Additionally, the Smart Med Box leverages data analytics to provide insights into patient behaviour, enabling personalized care plans. Its user-friendly interface allows for easy setup and use, making it a vital tool in remote patient monitoring and home-based healthcare solutions. As an IoT-driven solution, in the field of digital health, the Smart Med Box represents a significant advancement, promoting safer, more efficient, and patient-centered care.

Keywords : IoT, Smart Med Box, Patient Care and Medication Adherence.
