  title = {Smart Cup for a Smart Pill Dispenser for Verification of Pill Consumption},
  abstract = {This research paper describes the design of a device that can assist seniors or people with physical or cognitive limitations to take their prescribed medications that are in the form of pills on time while verifying that such pills have been actually consumed. The design consists of a portable smart pill dispenser that will rest on a base, allowing it to dispense pills into a smart cup. The smart pill dispenser uses a stepper motor to rotate to a desired pills based on a specific time slot/day of the week. The smart cup attached to the pill box uses an accelerometer, gyroscope, and an IR proximity sensor to detect if a user is taking the medication by how much the smart cup is lifted and tilted. The smart cup will inform the smart pill dispenser if the pills are properly consumed or not, thus, allowing the device to potentially aid the patients to have a healthier life.},
