Smart Pill Dispenser with Smart Cup

This research paper describes the design of a pill dispensing device that can assist people with physical or cognitive limitations in taking their prescribed medications. The design is based on the communication between two devices for the purpose of dispensing pills at a scheduled time and identifying if these pills had been properly consumed within a specified time frame. The two devices are based on Arduino RP2040 connect microcontrollers and implement several sensors in the aid of dispensing and detecting of pill consumption.
