In terms of functionality, the box is able to help the elderly distinguish between daytime and nighttime medications. At the corresponding time, the corresponding medication box will open automatically. The alert sound will be played. In the earliest versions, it could only open automatically, not close automatically. With micro servo motor update, now it can close the lip after it has been opened for a certain period of time, to prevent the elderly from taking repeated medication or forgetting to close the lid.
The only way to interact with the machine is to close the lid instead of using buttons. This is very much in line with human behavior and ensures that the elderly do not have difficulty operating the machine.
The small girds is also add in the last revision, this improvement makes the box be convenient for elders who need to take multiple medications at a time. The number of grids also have been added from 25 grids to 30 grids which is a month’s supply. So using these is very convenient as you only need to fill them once every month.
I would like to thank everyone for your help and suggestions on my design this semester. It has been an honor to work with you all, and I wish you all the best in the future.
