Abstract
According to the 2012 statistics provided by Ministry of Health, about 48.56% of the causes of death in hospitals are due to diseases on circulatory, respiratory and digestive system. As these diseases are life-threatening, patients should be monitored closely even if individuals are discharged from the hospital. This thesis reports the development of medication reminder using microcontroller so that the system can be implemented in the hospital or can be utilized as personal equipment. The system will take input from the user according to the needs and reminds the bearer to perform health administration. The system also made monitoring of health conditions possible by displaying the information needed on the computer using wireless connection technology. It employs the usage of microcontroller such as Atmega 32 in Arduino to communicate with the keypad, the display, the DS1307 Real-Time Clock, and XBee. The project was conducted in two parts that are the reminder system and the wireless connection linking the reminder system and the computer. The developments of the project require literature review of the microcontroller to communicate using serial communication and to produce the necessary output.
