Replication of Medi-Sense Box: Development of Sensor-Integrated Medicine Boxto Address Medication Adherence (2025)

Abstract

In today’s fast-paced world, medication adherence is essential for achieving better health outcomes, and the improved Medi-Sense Box addresses this need by enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of a sensor-integrated medicine reminder system. Building on previous research, the device uses an Arduino, ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, LCD, rechargeable battery, and durable casing to ensure accurate timing, reliable alarms, and continuous operation. Compared to the earlier version, the improved model showed significant advancements in enclosure design, system efficiency, button layout, usability, accessibility, and cost-efficiency, along with better user understanding through the inclusion of a user manual. Testing confirmed rapid battery charging with long operating time, faster sensor response, audible alarms under varying noise conditions, and 100% time accuracy. Overall, the upgraded Medi-Sense Box demonstrated superior functionality, reliability, portability, and user convenience, making it a more effective tool for supporting proper medication adherence.
