Automatic Pill Dispenser (APD) machine is a medical device designed for home usage and works for pills and capsules of a variety of sizes. It reduces drug errors by automating the dosage process for patients, through the use of visual and auditory prompts. APD removes the need to pre-sort medication, by segregating each medication to a compartment and the machine can count each dosage, individually. APD is developed using CAD software, optical sensors, Arduino Mega Microcontroller, 3D printed parts, non-continuous and continuous servos, and a 5-inch LCD display interface.
