Technology-Enabled Medical IoT System for Drug Management

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative framework for the storage and administration of pharmaceuticals, which effectively tackles the pressing requirements of maintaining optimal temperature and humidity conditions, monitoring medicine inventory, and processing real-time data in healthcare establishments. By utilizing a comprehensive network of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors strategically positioned within pharmaceutical storage facilities, our technology effectively guarantees the preservation and security of stored drugs. The study conducted in our research demonstrates that low temperature fluctuation effectively protects medicinal substances, hence reducing potential dangers to patients. The real-time inventory management system effectively optimizes medicine control by following expiry criteria and minimizing wasted spending. Furthermore, our study emphasizes the importance of cloud response latency, as the average data transfer time is a rapid 100 milliseconds. The expeditious integration of crucial data enables prompt notifications and alerts, hence augmenting the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products.
