Abstract
Medication for many people can become complex and overwhelming. Poor medication adherence can erode and well-being of a person especially elders. As they often forget to take medication on time. The idea is to help people at the right time before complex, costly and intensive measures like hospital admission become necessary. For individual's this requires easy access to medication on time. This project has created new pathways between the local authorities for the access of medication and peace of mind.Many hospitals and people will benefit from the APD (AUTOMATIC PILL DISPENSER) which will help and manage self-medication on time. Will help to weaken the workload for the hospital as well as staff, which will become easier to look after patients. This also applies to those who have workload and forget to have their medication on prescribed time or have the responsibility.
