Abstract: The healthcare industry is increasingly leveraging technology to improve patient outcomes and enhance the management of medical routines.This project proposes a comprehensive system designed to assist patients in managing their medication schedules effectively.The Prescription Reader, Reminder, and Nearest Medical Shop Locator with Caretaker Reminder is a multifaceted application that integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to scan and digitize handwritten or printed medical prescriptions.Once the prescription is digitized, the system automatically schedules reminders for patients to take their medications based on the prescribed dosage and timing.Additionally, it sends alerts to a designated caretaker to ensure oversight and compliance with the regimen.The system also incorporates a Nearest Medical Shop Locator feature, leveraging GPS technology to guide users to the closest pharmacies in their vicinity, enhancing convenience in obtaining medications.This holistic approach aims to support patients, particularly the elderly and those with chronic illnesses, in adhering to their treatment plans, while also offering peace of mind to caretakers.The platform is designed to be user-friendly, accessible, and adaptable to different medical needs, providing an essential tool for modern healthcare management.
