Project Introduction

 

An interdisciplinary senior design team at Boise State University has been tasked with designing and building a Pill Box to allow for dosage alerts and a greater peace of mind for caregivers in accordance with the requests of our sponsor, Dr. Jim Browning. After reviewing products currently available on the market, a device has been designed and built to address the potentially dangerous problem of medication non-compliance. With a $700 budget, the device incorporates 28 compartments that will each house a pill cup for easy access. Each compartment houses a sensor that allows the device to monitor and record dosage activity. Each compartment is also equipped with a green LED light that will flash along with an audio alert to remind the user to take their medication based on programming input by the caregiver. This device will serve to reduce medication errors and increase independence for its users.
