Abstract
This paper presents an adverse drug warning and medication dispensing system. The design of this system includes a pill box capable of storing and displaying patient-specific ADR information and warnings. The system is also capable of alerting the user when medications are to be taken through audible and visible displays.
Description
Created in fulfillment of the course requirements for ENGG*3100 Engineering and Design III. This course combines the knowledge gained in the advanced engineering and basic science courses with the design skills taught in ENGG*1100 and ENGG*2100 in solving open-ended problems. These problems are related to the student's major. Additional design tools are presented, including model simulation, sensitivity analysis, linear programming, knowledge-based systems and computer programming. Complementing these tools are discussions on writing and public speaking techniques, codes, safety issues, environmental assessment and professional management. These topics are taught with the consideration of available resources and cost.
