Audhathe Memorie (Smart Medicine Box)


Project Overview

Our EN1070 – Electronics Product Design and Manufacture Module group project focused on addressing a prevalent issue in society: the inconsistent use of oral medication, particularly among the elderly population. This often leads to missed doses and potentially severe consequences. To tackle this challenge, we embarked on a project to develop a device that effectively reminds users to take their medication at the prescribed times.

Survey Findings

To gather insights into the problem, we conducted a survey, which revealed that:

  • 63% of family members take medication.
  • 76% of respondents are above the age of 50.
  • 88% of respondents use pill-type medication.
  • 72% of respondents have experienced forgetting to take their medication and require a reminder system.

Project Scope

Based on the survey findings, we determined that our project should focus on developing a device that:

  • Reminds users to take their medication at the correct time.
  • Stores oral medication in the form of pills.
  • Allows users to input medical data through a terminal.
  • Stores medical data and uses it to remind users of medication times.
  • Alerts the user or caretaker if medication is not taken at the correct time.

Product Goal

The goal of our device is to provide a convenient and reliable solution for medication adherence, ensuring that users take their medication at the right times and avoid any potential health risks associated with missed doses.

My Contribution To This Project

I wanted to share details about my contributions to the initial physical implementation work. My primary focus was on designing the PCB using Altium and EasyEDA. Additionally, I actively participated in the soldering process for the components on the printed PCB.  For a more detailed look at my work, you can visit my GitHub repository at the following link: GitHub Linkhttps://github.com/Audhatha-memoire/audhatha_memoire/tree/sub

SLRC 2021

  DREAM EPIC                Our team, Dream Epic, actively participated in the SLRC 2021 competitions, engaging in two distinct stages. The first stage comprised both a Virtual Round and a Physical Round. The Virtual Round unfolded in the Webots simulation platform, involving tasks such as color detection, white line following, and pillar distance detection. While our robot adeptly identified floor colors, followed white lines, and navigated around walls, it faced challenges in crossing the final white line to reach the ultimate floor color. Despite this obstacle, we secured partial completion points in the virtual stage. In the subsequent Physical Round of the first stage, our team successfully executed tasks such as white square detection, color detection, pillar distance measurement, IR sensor panel utilization, and a precise 90-degree turn. These accomplishments earned us significant points, leading to Dream Epic securing a commendab...

     My name is Sugendran Luxshan, and I'm from Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Currently, I'm an undergraduate student studying Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering at the University of Moratuwa. I attended Jaffna Hindu College from 2010 to 2018. In 2015, I achieved notable results in my G.C.E O/Level with 7As and 2Bs. Moving on to the G.C.E A/Level in 2018, a nationwide competitive exam, I secured 3As in the physical science stream with a Z-Score of 2.1166. I have bilingual proficiency in English, native proficiency in Tamil, and limited working proficiency in Sinhala. My basic skills include Python and Java programming, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Arduino Environment, and MATLAB. During my school days, I actively participated in extracurricular activities such as playing cricket on the school team, being a member of the Science & Math Union, and holding the position of Vice President in the Young Men Hindu Association. In university, I'm a member of the Tamil L...
