Different from the common medicine cabinet, there is an industrial touch panel PC in the medicine cabinet, and each row of drawers has an indicator light.

A nurse demonstrated how to use it. She touched the password screen with her finger and the fingerprint was verified correctly. The glass door was unlocked. The nurse found the name of a patient on the screen and confirmed that the light above a drawer was lit. She opened the drawer to take out a small bag of medicine and then removed another bag of medicine from another lighted drawer.

The prescribing information from the doctor prescribes will reach the pharmacy and the smart medicine cabinet system. At the pharmacy, the automatic dispensing machine dispenses the medicines, which are then placed by the pharmacist into the drawer of the medicine cabinet.

However, if you want to open the smart medicine cabinet, you must confirm it with a fingerprint, and you can only open the small box that contains the drug that was selected in advance. After taking out the medicine, the small drawer is locked.
