SMART
MEDICINE
DISPENSER
FOR SENIORS
Panjik’s Group
WHAT IS IT?
A pill dispenser that alerts
users when to take
medication, with reminders
and tracking for family
members.
TARGET
AUDIENCE
This innovation targets to help the
elderly people who is having a difficult
time to remember which medicine to
take or when are they supposed to
take them?
Patient medications are pre-packaged in easy-toopen pouches by our pharmacists and loaded into
the SMART Dispenser cartridge, which is easily
attached to the back of the dispenser.
HOW DOES
IT WORK?
When it’s time to take the medication, the
SMART Dispenser lights up and makes a
calming chime to alert the patient.
Just press the dispense button to retrieve a
pouch with the precise dose, pre-opened for
added convenience.
For non-oral medication, such as inhalers,
eyedrops and creams, patients will receive
medication reminders.
For added security, face recognition or PIN
options can be activated.
If a dose is missed, family members or
caregivers receive a medication alert via text
message (SMS).
The SMART Dispenser can be connected
through a cellular network or WiFi.
FUNCTIONALITIES
INTERRACTIVE TOUCH
SCREEN WITH HEALTH
TIPS
HEALTH MONITORING
AND ADJUSTMENTS
The front of the dispenser has a touch
screen that provides daily health tips,
reminders to drink water, or short exercise
suggestions.
Users can learn about their medications,
possible side effects, or health news
relevant to their conditions.
Equipped with a small screen that can
display heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood
pressure.
Based on these readings, it can suggest
adjustments to the medication timing or
send alerts if readings are outside safe
ranges.
EMERGENCY ALERT AND
REMOTE MONITORING
The dispenser sends alerts to family
members or caregivers if a dose is missed or
if a reading shows unusual health metrics.
In case of an emergency (like an abnormal
heart rate), it can send an alert and call
emergency contacts.
HOW WILL IT
IMPROVE LIVES?
PEACE OF MIND FOR
FAMILIES AND
CAREGIVERS:
ENHANCED HEALTH
OUTCOMES:
Family members and caregivers can
track the senior’s medication
remotely, ensuring they’re taking it
safely. If a dose is missed, they get an
instant alert, so they can quickly
check in on their loved one.
The dispenser helps seniors take
medication on time, reducing missed or
incorrect doses. This supports better
health, especially for managing chronic
conditions like diabetes and heart
disease.
HOW WILL IT IMPROVE
THE ENVIRONMENT?
REDUCED MEDICAL
WASTE:
The dispenser improves
medication adherence, reducing
unused or wasted pills that might
otherwise end up in landfills or
waterways.
DECREASE IN EMERGENCY
SERVICES AND HEALTHCARE
RESOURCES:
With fewer medication-related issues,
there’s less need for emergency
services, ambulances, and hospital
visits. This also reduces the carbon
footprint from transportation and
hospital energy use.
