Abstract

The rising prevalence of Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Uganda, particularly diseases like diabetes and hypertension, poses a significant challenge to individuals striving to manage their medications consistently. The contemporary lifestyle, marked by busyness and forgetfulness, results in suboptimal medication adherence, contributing to adverse health outcomes. This project introduces a smart medicine and water dispenser with an SMS reminder,' an innovative project designed to address these challenges by offering meticulous management of treatments. The machine aims to streamline adherence to multifaceted treatment plans through personalized and timely reminders with the provision of medicine and water to the patients. Despite efforts to tackle NCDs, medication adherence remains a critical factor in patient outcomes. 'The smart Medicine and water dispenser' seeks to bridge this gap, enhancing the quality of life and survival rates for individuals grappling with chronic diseases in Uganda.
