Abstract

Currently, a large part of the world population suffers from diseases such as: diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, epilepsy, heart problems, among others, which require a continuous supply of drugs at specific times, to improve the quality of life Of the people with these health problems, professionals in the medical area are consulted, who are the ones who deliver a prescription and the indications of the supply of medicines, diets and general indications. Patients generally tend to lose the prescription, forget to take the medications at the exact times, because most of these people live alone or in the forgetfulness of their relatives. The technology that is available today, such as mechanical dispensers, electronic dispensers, becomes a very helpful tool for patients, since it allows them to remember the time when they should ingest the medical formula, avoiding the inefficiency of the suggested treatment and even major complications such as death from forgetting to supply the medicine. The proposal consists of the construction of a low-cost medicine dispenser that allows the autonomy of an elderly person, through a medical assistance team, an analysis of the operation was carried out, which had very good results, comparable with high-cost equipment and equivalent operation
