Medicine Tracker

Introduction

A medication alert software, inspired by the practical needs of a pharmacist, has been developed as a Python-based application to assist individuals in adhering to their medication schedules. The core functionality of this software lies in its user-friendly interface, where users can conveniently input the specific times at which their medications need to be taken. Upon reaching these pre-set times, the software generates audible alerts to remind users of their medication. A key feature of this alert system is the inclusion of a dismiss button, which not only silences the alarm but also serves as an acknowledgment of the medication intake, ensuring accurate tracking. This software is particularly beneficial for those with complex medication regimens, enhancing adherence and promoting better health outcomes. Its development stems from an understanding of the challenges faced in medication management, aiming to provide a reliable and straightforward solution for users.

In the medication alert software, users are afforded the flexibility to customize the timing of their medication reminders, enhancing the adaptability of the application to individual routines and preferences. By default, the software is programmed to issue an alert 10 minutes prior to the designated medication time, serving as a preparatory reminder. However, recognizing the diversity in user needs, the software offers an easily accessible setting that allows for the adjustment of this alert time. Users can navigate to the settings menu, where they can select the 'Alert Timing' option to modify the advance notification period. This feature can be adjusted to shorter intervals, such as 5 minutes, or extended to longer durations, as per the user's convenience. This customization not only caters to different lifestyles and schedules but also ensures that users have sufficient time to take their medications punctually, thereby supporting effective health management.

Convenience

The interface is user-friendly focused, designed to allow patients to efficiently manage their medication schedules. Users are prompted to input their medication details in two distinct fields: time of administration and medication name. The 'HH:MM AM/PM' field is where users specify the exact time for the medication alert, using a 12-hour clock format to accommodate ease of use. Adjacent to this, the 'Medication Name' field is provided for users to enter the name of the medication they need to be reminded to take. Once the details are inputted, clicking the 'Add' button will schedule the medication alert. The scheduled medications are then listed in a clear format, indicating their respective administration times, as shown in the list above the input fields. This streamlined input method ensures that users can quickly and accurately manage their medication times, contributing to improved adherence and overall health outcomes.

Materials

In addressing the challenge of constructing a compact pneumatic tank for our robot, our team employed specific materials and methods tailored to meet the stringent size requirements. The primary material used was Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), chosen for its durability and compatibility with our design objectives. The main component of the tank was a segment of ABS pipe with a 1.5-inch radius, selected as the smallest viable op-tion that could feasibly be integrated into the robot's structure without exceeding the 18-inch dimensional limit.

Alert With .wav File

The alarm system within the medication tracking software is an integral component designed to alert users when it is time to take their medication. To provide a clear and distinct sound, a .wav audio file has been imported into the Python program, which serves as the alarm tone. This is accomplished using Python's built-in wave module and external library such as pygame. The process involves loading the .wav file into the program's directory and utilizing a function that triggers the audio playback at the scheduled times for medication alerts. When the system clock matches a set reminder time, the program executes the audio playback function, thus emitting the sound from the user's device. This method ensures that the user is audibly notified, in addition to any on-screen notifications, creating a multi-sensory reminder system that is both effective and user-friendly. The implementation of this feature underscores the software's commitment to accessibility and ease of use in managing personal health regimens.

Dismiss Button

The dismiss button is a critical feature of the medication tracking software's alarm system, designed to offer users control over the management of their medication reminders. Once an alert is triggered, indicating that it is time to take a medication, the user is presented with the option to dismiss the alert through this button. Engaging the dismiss button serves a dual purpose: it not only silences the alarm, preventing further auditory notifications, but also logs the action, which can be used to confirm that the user has acknowledged the reminder.
