Group 19 Pill-Bud: Automatic Pill Dispenser

The idea behind a Pill-Bud arose after one friend within a group of four realized out loud that he had forgotten to take his medicine that day, and wished that there would be someone almost chasing him to take his medicine every day. Another friend within that group shared similar qualms about forgetting to take their medicine, noting that they often question if they have taken it or not. The last two friends, though they have not experienced their own prescription pains, noticed that this is a recurring hassle found throughout friends and family. The personal aggravations each member of the team has with either themselves or another family member forgetting to take their pills has motivated the team to come up with a solution that they could create from the scratch, use their current abilities within the engineering field, and skills that they would like to learn – such as using an Arduino kit.
