Description
So I am a diabetic who takes Ozempic shots once a week. The way Ozempic comes is that you get an injection pen and 4 needles. The shots are taken once a week and I have to refill the perscription every month. I decided to combine 2 of my hobbies, 3D printing and Home Automation and came up with this project.
This "thing" is a case I designed to hold the injection pen and the 4 needles. It also has a spot on the lid that holds a 26mm round NFC tag. My automation system that I use is Home Assistant and the idea is to have Home Assistant send me reminders once a week to take my Ozempic. Once I take the shot, I can then scan the NFC tag which will then reset the reminder for the next week. Home Assistant can then track how many needles I have used and once the last injection is scanned, it would then send a message to my pharmacy to request the refill. I am still working out the details of the automation and will post the YAML files once they are created.
