        abstract = {This project aims to create an Arduino UNO-based Smart Pill Reminder with Geo-Fencing and Health Monitoring System for dementia patients. This system uses sophisticated tracking and alerts to monitor the patient's health, remind them to take their medication, and assure their safety. The health monitoring system includes pulse, temperature, and MEMS sensors to detect heartbeat, body temperature, and falls. These sensors give data to the Arduino, which processes it and displays the status on an LCD module. A GPS module tracks the patient's location, while a GSM module alerts the designated cell phone number when sensor readings exceed the safe limit or an emergency arises. The system also uses geo-fencing to define a safe area. Immediately send the caregiver an SMS with the patient's GPS location and activate the buzzer for nearby assistance if the patient violates this barrier. The smart pill reminder's embedded timer reminds patients to take medications on time. A buzzer sounds when the designated time arrives, and if the medicine is not taken within a certain time, a GSM alert is sent to the caregiver. Main controlling unit Arduino UNO reads, processes, and displays sensor data and communicates with GPS and GSM modules. The system's control program is in Embedded C. Its real-time health monitoring, medication reminders, and safety tracking make it a trustworthy and clever dementia and aging support system.},
