ONLINE TESTING & MONITORING OF QUALITY OF MEDICINE AND CONSUMABLE

Abstract

This Project aims to resolve The quality and safety of medicines and medical consumables are of utmost importance for the health of the public and the delivery of healthcare services. Traditional quality control procedures, such as laboratory testing, are time - consuming and may not detect the deterioration of products during storage and transportation. Thus timely deployment of the product may not be possible.This paper proposes an innovative method for the online testing and real-time monitoring of quality of medicines. It is performed through a secure online application. The application has an authentication mechanism, along with access control, which allows the efficient management of the inventory by authorized personnel, such as the administrator or the store manager. The Smart Medicine Storage, Quality Monitoring, and Expiry Alerting System using IoT is a system aimed at improving the safe storage of medicines. Medicines are very sensitive to environmental changes like temperature, humidity, and light.Also The Proposed system uses the IoT to monitor the storage environment of medicines using sensors. The collected data is processed by a microcontroller like Arduino or Node MCU and then sent to the cloud platforms like Think Speak or Blink for real-time monitoring and visualization. The collected dataset is then passed to the Machine Learning algorithm to perform the classification task to check whether the storage environment is safe or unsafe for the medicines. The users can access the system by using the mobile or web application to check the real-time data, the history of the medicines, and the alerts. The system also stores the essential information about the medicines,like manufacturing date and the expiry date, in the database.The system then sends notifications to the users about the expiry of the medicines and alerts about change in the environment, which can affect the medicines, to ensure proper storage of the medicines.This solution can be effectively implemented in hospitals, pharmacies, labs, and homes, thereby developing smart healthcare technology.
