Smart Medibox

Smart Medibox is an innovative solution designed to ensure individuals adhere to their medication schedules efficiently. This device is not just a reminder; it actively engages in maintaining the optimal conditions for medication storage by constantly monitoring temperature and humidity levels. Alerts are generated to inform the user of any deviations from the desired conditions, ensuring medication efficacy is preserved.

Key Features

Medication Reminders: Automates medication schedules with timely alarms, ensuring doses are not missed.
Environmental Monitoring: Continuously checks temperature and humidity, alerting the user to any conditions that might compromise medication quality.
User-friendly Interface: Utilizes an ADAFRUIT SSD 1306 OLED Monochrome Display for clear, accessible interaction.

Technology Stack

The project leverages the following hardware components:

ADAFRUIT SSD 1306 OLED Monochrome Display (128x64) for crisp, readable output.
ESP32 Devkit V1 as the central processing unit, providing robust performance and connectivity.
DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor for accurate environmental readings. (Configurable for DHT22.)
