MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048386 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 16, for 'a secure iot-enabled qr-based automated medicine dispensing system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. C Kaladevi; Ms. V. Lathika; Mr. Jayasurya N; and Ms. Jayavarsha S P.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a secure automated medicine dispensing system (100) integrating an IoT-enabled hardware unit with a database for prescription-based medicine delivery. The system comprises a dispensing unit (200) including compartmentalized storage (204), motorized dispensing mechanisms (206), a QR code scanning module (208), and a microcontroller (210) configured to control actuation. A doctor-authorized prescription is processed to generate a time-bound QR code (500) encoding an authentication token. Upon scanning, the microcontroller (210) validates the token and selectively actuates the dispensing mechanism (206) to release prescribed medicines. The system restricts unauthorized access by preventing actuation in case of invalid or expired tokens. The invention enables controlled, accurate, and automated dispensing of medicines with reduced human intervention."
