Easy Open

Easy Open is designed for Siok Wah, who takes 4+ medications daily and has difficulty opening medicine bottles due to her osteoarthritis. This device allows Siok Wah to easily open her medicine bottles without straining her hands and only allows her to access the device, preventing her grandchildren from accidentally ingesting her medicine. The device utilizes RFID to ensure only Siok Wah can access the device and uses servos and stepper motors to replicate the vertical and rotational motions required to open a medicine bottle.

StrongHold

Our product is designed for patients who lack grip strength and/or have uncontrollable movement in their hands and arms. This product is necessary for many of these patients because it is very difficult to grab onto objects in their daily life, like medicine bottles and water bottles, without a stable and strong hand. Our product consists of a mechanical grabber controlled by a button ergonomically situated on a grip, while a counterweight mechanism controlled by the gyroscope-assisted RPi Pico situated below the grip counteracts any uncontrollable movements in their arms.
