The aim of this project is to develop an IoT based patient assisting device was implemented for monitoring the people to intake tablet periodically. The health and wellness sector is critical to human society and as such should be one of the first to receive the benefits of upcoming technologies like IoT. Some of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is connected to IoT networks to monitor the day-to-day activities of the patients. Recently there has been an attempt to design new medical devices which monitor the medications and help aged people for a better assisted living. In this paper, one such attempt is made to design a multipurpose portable intelligent device named MEDIBOX which helps the patients take their medications at the right time and also to monitor the patient health through IoT.
