How to Build an IoT Medication Tracker

By Sudheer Chekka, a Solutions Architect at Twilio, this post outlines the process of building an IoT medication tracker using Electric Imp, Twilio Flex, and Airtable to address the issue of non-adherence to prescribed medications. The project aims to make it easy for patients and healthcare providers to track medication schedules and automate prescription refills, potentially reducing deaths caused by non-adherence. The solution involves setting up a prototype with a website where patients can enter their prescription regimen, sending reminders to patients via SMS or other means, and tracking patient compliance through an Airtable database. The system also alerts healthcare professionals if a patient falls behind on their medication schedule. With this IoT tracker, patients can receive personalized reminders and healthcare providers can monitor patient adherence in real-time, improving overall patient outcomes.
