Description
Summary:	Central to most aspects of medicine from primary care to specialized treatments, prescription drugs have become a major component of health systems worldwide. Owing to their psychoactive effects, these drugs are often taken in ways not intended by the doctor or by someone other than the person for whom it had been prescribed. patients often forget to take their prescribed medications or consume it out of the schedule recommended by the doctor. There are also instances of teenagers stealing drugs such as opiates, CNS depressants and stimulants from their friends and family. Our goal for this project is to build a system around prescription drugs that helps authenticate a patient's access of such medication based on their identity and prescribed schedule, and also facilitates the pharmacist or doctor to monitor this consumption.
