A device called ‘MEDIKIT’ is developed which provides a better, assisted and independent living. It is a multipurpose, portable box which is connected to the cloud, wherein the medications details are stored for doctor’s reference and for future analysis. The box intimate the patients to take right medicines on right time with right dose using visual and voice alert. It also keeps the potency of the medicines by controlling the temperature and humidity as mentioned by the drug manufacturer. Secure Cloud storage is used to maintain the details which are directly assessed by the hospital or the doctor specifically.
