Medication non-adherence is a serious problem in Indonesia, with low adherence rates reaching 41.5% in hypertension patients and 78.1% in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, due to memory loss, complexity of medication schedules, and physical limitations, especially in the elderly population. Thisstudyaimstodevelop an IoT-based automatic pill medicine dispenser to improve medication adherence through a Human Centered Design approach that focuses onuserneeds.TheresearchmethodologyusesthreestagesofHCD:Inspiration through in-depth interviews with users of various ages andhealthexperts,Ideationtodesignasystemconcept that integrates ESP32, RTC DS3231, servo motor, and mobile application with Firebase as a real-timedatabase, and Implementation to develop functional prototypes and usability evaluation.
