For older adults with memory loss and their caretakers, daily routines can become a significant source of worry. We wanted to create a solution that would help these stakeholders through the day and achieve peace of mind.
Through research and interviews, we found that routine medications in particular can be very stressful due to the risk of health consequences if forgotten.
Through testing and evaluation, we created Pilltender, an automatic medication dispenser that reminds older adults to take their medications with minimal steps. Our solution focuses on tasks such as:
- An easy medicine onboarding process
- Reminders to take medicine
