Part 1: Drawing key lessons

• The students picked on a very common issue which make the project even more difficult. They had gone through a very thorough research in finding all the current solutions for medicine dispensing and considered from all angles. Although simple, the inclusion of a LED light to indicate the actual medication to be taken is crucial for the solution. The addition built-in alarm helps the patient know when to take the medicine. The size of the dispensing unit also makes it possible to hold enough medication.

• Although the case has a LED feature, however, as it is up to the person opening the lid, there might still be a possibility of an accidental opening of a wrong lid, leading to the wrong pills being taken. There might be a sort of locking system whereby only the desired portion of the pill box is opened during that specific time. This is an additional feature although it is addressed by the LED portion.

Part 2: Exploring Possibilities

• Currently, there are no similar solutions in the industry. The solutions given thus far are very innovative and is a result of the various consults and research that the students have done.

• The students actually have a few ideas and can explore those other areas which may lead to even greater and more ideas in the future.
