With the aging population and the increase in chronic disease rates, elderly patients face complex drug treatments, which increases the probability of medication errors. This paper designs a smart medication system based on smart medicine dispensers and mini-programs. The smart medicine dispenser integrates cameras, automatic dispensing mechanisms and sensors to distribute the medicines that patients take at a time. The mini-program provides functions such as medication plan setting, medication record viewing and drug knowledge popularization. The system uses OCR technology to identify drug information, supports custom medication plans, controls the automatic distribution of drugs through IoT technology, and reminds patients to take medicine on time in various ways. Infrared sensors monitor the use of drugs, effectively reducing the error rate of medication and improving the accuracy and safety of medication.
