        abstract = {Many medical errors happen because caregivers or family members have to manage multiple medications every day. This paper presents the design and implementation of a smart pillbox to address this issue. The pillbox is meant for patients who take regular medications or caregivers who assist them. It allows users to set pill intake schedules for three different medications and reminds them with sound and light alerts when it’s time to take their pills. The smart pillbox contains three separate sub-boxes, allowing medical caretakers or clients to set data for three distinct pills. The device also monitors whether the patient has taken the medicine and sends an SMS alert to the caregiver using the GSM module when the medication is taken. Additionally, if the medicine stock is low, an SMS notification is sent to remind the caregiver to refill it. This smart pillbox makes medication management easier for patients, caregivers, and healthcare facilities, reducing the risk of missed or incorrect doses.},
