This project was created by a team of 3 students for the Make:Able DT Challenge 2024, where we became World Finalists out of thousands of teams.

The project gained a lot of traction in our school and we were invited to present in assemblies (presentation uploaded) and we featured on the school blog.

As part of our submission, we created a 4-minute video showcasing the product and the story behind it.

The project was inspired by my grandfather, who struggles to take his daily pills because the packaging is difficult to use.

To better understand the problem, we interviewed carers at a local care home, who explained that dispensing medication can be time-consuming, painful, and difficult due to hard-to-open blister packs and sharp packaging.

We also used arthritis finger covers and cataract simulation goggles to experience some of the challenges elderly people face when taking medication.

With this in mind, we designed our product and researched other important details, such as which colours would be easiest for elderly users to see.
