For this project I designed a small sensor that goes in the top of a bottle cap that connects to a mobile app that shows the last time you opened the bottle and took your medication.
This was meant for individuals who take a daily medication that they need help with remembering to take. To start this project I created multiple personas to keep in mind when designing the product. One being an elderly patient who has trouble remembering if they already took their medication, another being a young mother who in her busy life needs a little help remembering the smaller things.
I tested this idea with a couple of participants and gave them a small description of what the product would be and asked them what they think the audience for this product is and What other versions of this product they suggest making.
The two participants think that it would be helpful in reminding people to take medications that would help individuals with disabilities and even those with those who have learning disabilities like ADHD.
One of the participants when responding to the second question suggested that we make more options for personalization’s like am pm organizers, this gave me the idea to create the second iteration of the product which was the daily pill organizer with the sensor in the middle.
