KAPSÜL
Smart Medication Management System
An IoT-enabled smart pill dispenser that automates medication scheduling, ensures accurate dispensing, and keeps caregivers informed — in real time.
of patients with chronic conditions do not take their medications as prescribed — with elderly patients being the most affected group.
Medication adherence is a critical, unsolved problem.
Complex dosage schedules, cognitive decline, and lack of real-time oversight leave millions of elderly patients vulnerable to missed or incorrect doses.
“Non-adherence is the world’s most prescribed, but least taken medicine.”
— WHO, Adherence to Long-Term Therapies ReportKAPSÜL addresses this directly: an automated dispenser that removes the guesswork, connects patients to caregivers, and creates a safety net that works even during power outages.
Everything a smart dispenser should be.
Designed from the ground up for reliability, accessibility, and peace of mind.
14-Dose Carousel
The rotating disc with 14 slots provides up to 1 week of coverage with twice-daily use.
Power Failure Redundancy
A load-sharing topology seamlessly switches to a 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery during outages, ensuring zero downtime and 24+ hours of backup operation.
75 dB Audible Alarm
A PWM-driven speaker generates high-volume alerts when doses are due, with distinct tone patterns for medication reminders vs. critical system errors.
Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity
The ESP32-WROOM-32 connects via IEEE 802.11 b/g/n for real-time data sync with Firebase Cloud, keeping schedules and logs always up to date.
Secure Authentication
Each physical device is paired to the app via a unique registration key. Encrypted session tokens protect patient data end-to-end.
Elderly-First Interface
A 2.4″ TFT LCD shows time, next dose, and battery status at a glance. Three large tactile buttons eliminate complexity for non-tech-savvy users.
Caregiver Mobile App
A cross-platform Flutter application gives caregivers complete remote visibility. View adherence history, receive missed-dose alerts, and manage schedules — from anywhere in the world.
Simple for users. Sophisticated inside.
From initial setup to a missed-dose alert reaching the caregiver — here’s the full flow.
Pair & Authenticate
The caregiver registers the device using a unique key via the mobile app. Firebase validates the key and links the device to the account.
Schedule Doses
Up to 14 dose times are configured through the Dosage Scheduler. Schedules sync to Firebase and download to the ESP32 via Wi-Fi.
Alarm & Dispense
At scheduled time, the stepper motor aligns the correct compartment and a 75 dB alarm sounds. The patient presses Dispense to release the pill.
Log & Alert
Status is written to Firebase as “TAKEN” or “MISSED”. Missed doses trigger an instant FCM push notification to the caregiver’s phone.
Your medication hub, in your pocket.
The companion app keeps both patients and caregivers in the loop — with real-time sync, rich adherence analytics, and smart notifications.
Built on a solid engineering foundation.
Every component chosen for precision, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
