Introduction

Our goal is to design a simple and safe medicine dispenser. The elderly and disabled people often struggle with taking the right pills at the right time. Similar designs are already on the market(See State of the Art) but our goal is to extend it's functionality by having it be connected to the internet. This technology will benefit both the doctor, pharmacist and patient.

Goals
Design a simple and safe medicine dispenser
Easy to use, especially for elderly and disabled
Smart; uses internet of things
Secure
Easy to refill


Challenges
What are critical parts of the system?
What functions should the design include?
What will the interface look like?
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
How to design a dispenser that doesn't jam?
How will the device function without an internet connection?
How is it refilled?
Will this increase the workload of doctors?


Approach
Conduct a literary study of existing technology to achieve our goals and solve our challenges
Design the prototype
Build the prototype
Program the prototype
