Dementia is one of the most common diseases in the world. The number of patients with dementia is increasing rapidly day by day. Patients with dementia are commonly older than 65 years, and they already use additional drugs for other diseases. It becomes a challenge for individuals in this age group to keep track of their drug timings themselves for dementia patients especially. This study aims to design a device that allows the following dosage and usage regularity of the pills for this purpose. There are five different slices for the pills. This device also has five distinct alarm hours to remind to take pills. When the clock hits a scheduled time, an alarm starts to beep, and an LED flashes to warn the patient. The user can take the pill by pressing the green button within two minutes after the alarm. In this case, servo motors connected pill sections to the "shelf" part of the device. By pulling the shelf, the patient can reach the pills. Otherwise, this device sends an e-mail to the preset e-mail address (and a short message to the phone number) of the person who is responsible for the patient.
