Abstract: It is challenging even today to get proper healthcare facilities like availability of medicine in the rural as well as underserved areas like hilly and etc . To help bridge this gap, we’ve developed a Automated medicine dispensing system that brings a new level of automation, accuracy, and ease of use to medication management. The medicine Dispenser dispenses the medicine based on the QR Coded prescription generated by the hospitals or medicine practitioners it helps to reduce the human errors in understanding the manual prescription and also the QR Coded prescription is unique and helps the patient details to be encrypted . The main part of the Medicine Dispenser is a mobile app built using Flutter and Dart, allowing users to either scan QR-coded prescriptions or manually choose the medicines they need. The app is easy to use and talks directly to an Arduinobased control unit through Bluetooth. This unit controls the relays and motors that handle the actual medicine dispensing. To make the system even more user-friendly, Dispenser consists an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) using a DFPlayer Mini module, which guides users step-by-step in either Telugu or English to get Medication based on the problem they are facing like fever, cough, cold and etc. We’ve also added a DHT11 sensor to monitor temperature and humidity, which helps keep the medicines in good condition. When the sensor detects conditions outside the ideal range, a cooling fan automatically kicks in to protect the medicine .The Dispensers setup is scalable, and built to be deployed anywhere from village health centers to urban clinics. With features like voice based medication selection, QR based dispensing , and environmental monitoring, this system makes smart healthcare delivery not just possible, but practical and effective
