Development of a Smart Robotic Drug Dispenser for Improved Healthcare Delivery

Abstract

The work "Robotic Drug Dispenser with QR Code Integration" aims to address the persistent challenges encountered in conventional medication dispensing methods within healthcare settings and introduces an innovative approach to automate medication dispensing by utilizing advanced technologies. The traditional methods of prescribing and delivering medications often encounter challenges such as errors in interpretation, delays in processing, and inefficiencies in distribution. In response, our project seeks to introduce a QR code-based system for prescription information, aiming to enhance clarity and precision while minimizing errors in medication dispensing. This system integrates a web application-generated QR code prescription, Raspberry Pi camera for decoding, and Arduino-controlled robotic arm and conveyor belt to facilitate precise medication dispensing and transport.
