Proposed Solution
To address the gaps in elderly medication adherence and reduce the burden on families, CareCircle proposes a smart, accessible, and IoT-powered medication management system. The solution integrates AI-based prescription scanning, automated reminders, and 15-minute follow-up alerts to ensure every dose is taken on time. By connecting with Alexa, Siri, and Google Home, users receive hands-free voice reminders, making the experience seamless for seniors with limited mobility or tech confidence. Additionally, CareCircle includes IoT-enabled pill dispensers, an easy-to-use reminder dashboard, and real-time emergency assistance, helping users access nearby doctors or ambulances instantly. This combined ecosystem ensures medication safety, reduces health risks, and provides peace of mind to caregivers who can’t be present all the time. The proposed solution creates a simple, reliable, and non-intrusive support system that empowers elderly individuals to stay independent while ensuring consistent, accurate medication management.
