Introduction and Project Summary

PillPopper Pro is an automated pill dispenser designed to make taking medication safer, easier, and more organized. Many people struggle with managing their prescriptions, whether due to forgetting doses, taking the wrong amount, or having difficulty opening pill bottles—especially those with limited hand mobility such as elderly and disabled patients. Additionally, traditional pill bottles do not provide a secure way to prevent unauthorized access or track whether the medication was taken correctly. This can lead to serious health risks, especially for medications that can be deadly if more than the allotted dose is taken or for medication that needs to be taken at a specific time. For example, individuals taking high-dosage stimulants or opioids can risk serious side effects if the wrong dose is taken.

PillPopper Pro solves these issues by automating the pill-dispensing process and integrating it with a connected app that records when medication is taken, provides reminders for refills, and ensures only the intended user can access their pills. It allows users to easily enter their daily pills and dispense them through scheduled notifications. The app records whenever a user takes their medication and alerts them when a refill is due. By streamlining medication management, PillPopper Pro helps prevent missed or incorrect doses and enhances overall patient safety.
