Smart Pill Dispenser

Hi everyone, I’m Henry, a UNSW engineering student from Australia. My late grandfather had dementia and often forgot to take his medication, which is what got me working on this problem.

For those of you juggling work while helping a parent with their medication: we’re developing a smart dispenser that reminds them with lights and sound, lets them ask out loud if they’ve taken today’s dose, and alerts you if a dose is missed.

If this sounds like something your family would use, you can learn more here:

Honest feedback is welcome too, good or bad. Thank you

    Sounds great! Since you mentioned this is a student project, I hope you don’t mind if I suggest that in the second sentence on your webpage, you omit the “and” in this phrase: “with and on-demand”.

    Webpage looks very nice. As far as the product, many people need this type product but the price can be a barrier.
