Currently, advancements in automation have led to the creation of technological innovations and control techniques for Internet-connected devices that are applied in various fields such as industry, medicine, and more. In the healthcare sector, automation plays a crucial role as it enhances patients’ quality of life. The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a key role in automation as it enables smart devices to perform their functions online. This article presents a prototype categorized under the Internet of Medical Things, designed to assist elderly individuals with motor and/or cognitive impairments by reminding them to take their medication. The device dispenses the pill to the patient when they bring their wrist close to the apparatus, using an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) bracelet, which activates the device and logs the information in a database on a server. Additionally, a cross-platform mobile application was developed using the Flutter framework, allowing the device to be configured, the doctor to update the prescription, and the patient’s family to check whether the medication has been taken or to send an alert if it has not.
