3. Abstract
MediTrack is a web-based medicine reminder system aimed at assisting users in managing
their medication schedules. It provides timely reminders to users based on their input for
medicine names, dosages, and timing. This system is especially helpful for the elderly,
chronically ill, and busy professionals. The project is built using web technologies and
showcases software engineering and project management practices.
4. Problem Statement
Forgetting to take medication on time can lead to serious health consequences. In today’s
busy life, people often skip doses or fail to follow medication schedules. There is a need for a
simple digital tool that can send reminders and help users manage their medicine intake
effectively.
5. Objectives
- To develop a user-friendly online platform for managing medication schedules.
- To provide browser-based or email notifications as reminders.
- To apply software engineering principles such as modularity, reusability, and testing.
- To plan and execute the project using project management methodologies.
6. Scope
In-Scope:
- User registration and login
- Adding medicine schedules
- Reminders based on timing (e.g., notifications)
- Option to mark medicines as "taken"
Out-of-Scope:
- Real-time chat with doctors
- Prescription management
- Integration with pharmacies
7. Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
Functional Requirements:
- User can register and log in.
- User can add medicine name, dosage, and timing.
- System will notify users at specified times.
- Users can view daily medication schedules.
- Users can mark medicine as "taken".
Non-Functional Requirements:
- The system should respond within 2 seconds.
- Should work on both desktop and mobile browsers.
- Passwords must be securely stored (hashed).
- Notifications must not be missed or delayed.
Tech Stack:
- Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
- Backend (Optional): Flask / [Link]
- Database: SQLite / localStorage
- Browser: Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge

13. Project Management Techniques Used
- Model Followed: Agile with short sprints
- Tools Used: Trello for task tracking, GanttProject for charts
- Risk Mitigation:
- Backup reminders via console log
- Stored data locally to avoid DB downtime
14. Conclusion
MediTrack is a functional, lightweight tool for improving health adherence by ensuring
medication schedules are followed. The project showcases the full software development
lifecycle—from planning and design to coding and testing—while also applying project
management strategies to meet deadlines and requirements.
