Abstract: The present invention relates to a tactile medication identification and dosage management system designed to enable visually impaired and blind individuals to independently identify and administer medications through non-visual interaction. The system comprises a plurality of tactile markers having distinguishable shapes, surface textures, tactile patterns, and raised configurations configured to encode medication-related information including medication identity, administration timing, dosage level, and relation to food intake. The tactile markers are affixed to medication containers, packaging, or dispensing units and are interpreted through touch using a structured tactile coding framework. The system further provides a tactile verification mechanism for confirming medication identity and dosage prior to administration, thereby reducing medication errors and improving adherence. The invention operates without reliance on visual cues, electronic devices, power sources, or Braille literacy and is adaptable to multiple pharmaceutical dosage forms and medication regimens, providing a simple, durable, and cost-effective solution for safe and independent medication management by visually impaired individuals.
