Project Smart Pill Box incorporates a BeagleBoard with a screen and a webcam. The software was developed using the Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) library. Using this library, our program detects the face of a user and then attempts to track a hand as it moves towards the user’s mouth. This action will constitute the taking of the pill. The software will also notify a user if he/she has taken his/her pills already for the day. The clock is kept accurate by automatically updating over the internet immediately after the Smart Pill Box is turned on. If desired, a log file could keep track of the user’s pill-taking.
