Abstract
Humans suffer from health problems due to pollution and
diseases, especially in the Middle East and African countries. So
citizens need safe medicines to help them with a safe, speedy
recovery. In turn, a medical refrigerator can monitor storage
temperature, expire dates, and quantity to keep drugs, vaccines,
and blood donations useful and safe for them. The study has
proposed and enhanced a new applicable and fast "Medical
Refrigerator" system to help pharmacists to easily keep
medicines with safety without the need for regular inventory to
check expiry and quantity, which costs effort, time, and money.
Pharmacists and lab technicians have issued with the medicine
and other staff that need a refrigerator. The main issue is they
may expire without any indication about the expiry date. Another
issue is the quantity which may out suddenly. Besides, there is a
problem in the store's temperature system (refrigerator) where
they kept their medicines and medical solutions at a cold
temperature to prevent infection.
The proposed smart fridge uses a barcode scanner that scans the
expiry date products while keeping in the refrigerator. The
refrigerator alerts the users with emails when any product in it is
expired. The fridge's embedded camera can see the fridge's
contents on the user's smartphone application from a remote area.
