Project Overview

Medication administration regimens cause significant dispensing and adherence issues for many individuals, often compounded by the necessity of slicing pills in half. In order to improve the living conditions of those suffering from these ailments, we aim to build a pill cap that will dispense a set dosage of pills. Specifically, the cap should be able to dispense the same dosage of ½, 1 or 2 pills at appropriate time intervals, once scheduled by the pharmacist. Additionally, the device should automatically alert the client when to take a pill, and not release any pills except during the set dosing period.
