Medicine Reminder App
A medication adherence app with reliable alarms, refill tracking, caregiver alerts and prescription capture.
Project overview
Users add medicines with dose and schedule, receive alarms that fire reliably even when the app is closed, confirm each dose, and see an adherence history. A caregiver can be alerted when a dose is repeatedly missed.
The scope is friendly for a smaller team, but background notification reliability across Android manufacturers is a genuine engineering challenge that makes the project defensible rather than trivial.
Problem statement
Missed doses are a leading cause of treatment failure, particularly for elderly patients on multiple medicines. Phone alarms lack context, do not record whether the dose was taken, and cannot inform a caregiver.
Proposed solution
Schedule exact alarms through the platform scheduler so reminders survive app termination, require an explicit taken or skipped confirmation, and derive refill dates from remaining quantity. Escalate to a caregiver only after a configured number of consecutive misses.
Key features
- Medicine entry with dose, frequency and duration
- Exact alarms that fire with the app closed or the device idle
- Taken, skipped and snoozed confirmation per dose
- Adherence history with a weekly and monthly view
- Refill tracking with a low-stock warning
- Caregiver alert after repeated missed doses
- Prescription photo storage for reference
- Drug interaction warnings from a curated local list

System architecture
The flow below is what goes into your architecture diagram and the corresponding chapter of the report.
- Schedule builder converts a prescription into individual dose events
- Platform alarm scheduler registers each upcoming dose
- Notification handler records the response and reschedules snoozes
- Adherence store aggregates responses into history and streaks
- Refill calculator derives the reorder date from quantity and frequency
- Escalation service notifies the caregiver after consecutive misses
Expected output
- Installable app with reliable background reminders
- Adherence report per medicine and per week
- Refill alerts ahead of running out
- Caregiver notification demonstration

Documentation, review, demo and viva support
Documentation support
Abstract, problem statement, literature survey guidance, system architecture, ER and UML diagrams, module descriptions, test cases and screenshots — prepared in your department format.
Project review support
Delivery is split across your review calendar so review one has a design and plan, review two has working modules, and the final review has the integrated, tested system.
Demo support
A rehearsed demo path, seeded sample data, a reset script, and a recorded walkthrough kept as a backup in case something fails in the review room.
Viva preparation
A written question bank for this domain, a code walkthrough session, and practice at explaining each module in your own words — because the examiner will ask you.
Customisation options
Colleges reject duplicate topics, so most projects are adjusted before we start. These are the usual directions for this one.
- Add prescription OCR so medicines are added from a photograph
- Add multi-patient support for a caregiver managing several people
- Add pharmacy integration for reorder
- Add a smart pill box with an IoT indicator light per compartment
