THE DELEOPMENT OF SMART MEDICINE DELIVERY USING ESP32

This project introduces a modified remote-controlled medicine delivery system to assist nurses in delivering medication to patients efficiently and safely. The aim of this research is to address the challenges of manual medication delivery, which can be time consuming and prone to human error. By integrating RFID authentication, the system ensures that only authorized nurses can initiate the process, thereby enhancing safety and preventing any incidents in the hospital. The system is equipped with an RFID reader where nurses need to scan a card containing the patient's bed number to activate the device. Upon scanning the RFID card containing the patient’s bed number, the information is displayed on an I2C LCD display and the system guides the car to the predetermined destination. The prototype is constructed using a 4 wheel drive Chassis Kit, powered by 18650 Li-ion batteries housed in a battery holder and controlled via L298N Motor Driver and servo motor for navigation. An ESP32 microcontroller serves as the main processing unit, enabling wireless communication and monitoring form the nurse station. An ultrasonic sensor validates safe distance within 30cm and halts movement when obstacles are detected. This system indicate successfully reduces delivery time and minimizes the risk of drugs being delivered to the wrong patient. In conclusion, this innovation demonstrates the potential of combining automation with safety protocols to improve hospital operations. The project emphasizes how simple technologies like RFID and display systems can be integrated to create practical solutions and support healthcare staff efficiency.
