🧠 The Complete System: How It Works

PillMate is a two-part ecosystem:

1. Web Application: The central hub for users to manage their medication schedules, view history, and control their device.
2. Hardware Device: An Arduino-powered smart pillbox that receives commands from the web app. When it's time for a dose, it provides a visual LED signal and an auditory buzzer reminder.

The Workflow:

1. A user sets their medication schedule on the PillMate web app.
2. When a dose is due, the web app sends a signal to the hardware device.
3. The device activates its LED and buzzer, providing a clear, physical reminder that cannot be easily ignored.
4. The user takes their medication and can log the dose via the web app.
