IoT-ENABLED DRUG CONTENT DETECTION IN COUGH SYRUP

The paper presents an IoT-based system to detect pharmaceutical content levels in cough syrup and prevent accidental exposure to harmful compounds. The system uses near-infrared spectroscopy to assess active pharmaceutical ingredients, and a microcontroller unit (MCU) performs real-time analysis. The system is linked to a cloud platform for remote data transfer and analysis. A user-friendly mobile application allows consumers, healthcare providers, and regulators to access drug content information. While this system enhances safety, enables real-time monitoring, and supports regulatory compliance, challenges like technical complexity and potential cost implications must be addressed.
