What they did
The guide connects an agent on a Raspberry Pi to a pill organizer with a servo motor, a camera and a buzzer. Scheduled tasks check the history, release the dose, photograph the compartment, keep reminding if the dose isn't confirmed, and notify caregivers on Telegram or WhatsApp.
How it went

Good to know
