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.
