Overview

A practical healthcare device concept for medication adherence.

This project explores how embedded hardware, display interfaces, indicators, and assisted logic can make medication reminders clearer and easier for users to follow.

Problem

Medication schedules are easy to miss, especially when reminders and physical pill compartments are separated.

Solution

A prototype pill box with visual indicators, display guidance, reminder flow, and interaction cues.

Role

Prototype design, hardware integration, demo preparation, user flow thinking, and presentation for innovation judging.

Development process

Hardware, interface, reminder logic, and demo flow.

01

Define use case

Focused on helping users identify medication timing and compartment guidance.

02

Build prototype

Integrated casing, display, indicators, button interaction, and compartment layout.

03

Test interaction

Validated whether information, alerts, and visual cues are understandable during a demo.

04

Present outcome

Prepared the prototype narrative for healthcare innovation and IVIX competition recognition.

Technologies used

Embedded system plus assisted intelligence concept.

Display

OLED interface for medication name, time, and reminder state.

Indicators

LED guidance to direct attention toward the correct compartment.

Logic

Medication reminder flow, state change, and demo-oriented interaction.

Prototype
