The MediMitra: Voice Enabled Medicine Alert System seeks to tackle this problem by offering an automated, low-cost and user-friendly medication reminder solution. The system combines Raspberry Pi with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to pull medicine names, dosage details and intake times directly from scanned prescriptions. This reduces manual input and user reliance. The information is stored in a central database and connected to a scheduler that sends timely voice alerts through smart speakers or Bluetooth devices. This ensures users receive reliable and easy-to-access reminders. The OCR module is designed for high accuracy in processing printed prescription images by using image preprocessing techniques like noise reduction and thresholding, which helps in effectively extracting key medication details [2]. The system focuses on accessibility, affordability and ease of use in home or clinical settings. Overall, MediMitra provides a useful technological solution to improve medication adherence and supports independent living. It also has potential for future integration with health-monitoring systems.
