IOT BASED PAPERLESS MEDICINE PRESCRIPTION

Story behind the project:

I believe that a project without a story is stale and tasteless and doesnot have a vivid connection with the author/maker.Last year I was diagonsed with measles and jaundice at the same time.I was taken to a hospital nearby when my condition was not good.Being a college student 2000 km away from home is difficult,especially in these cases. When I reached the hospital all my tests were taken and I just needed to be prescribed the correct medicine. But, the skin specialists was not present , so I had to wait for a whole night in a hospital bed paying the ward bills and so on and so forth. What if the doctor would have remotely prescribed me I thought!!
