This paper proposes an autonomous medicine dispenser box that alleviates irregularities in taking prescribed medication at appropriate time. The main purpose of this system is to help patients primarily seniors, other vulnerable group that may need assisted care, and to switch from approaches dependent on human memory to automation with negligible supervision ,hence reducing human efforts and preventing error prone tasks of giving wrong medicines at the wrong time in wrong amount. The system contains a programmable alarm system with an interactive UI and sends notifications about the medicine taken and supply of medicines.
