A Health Care devices company out of North America wanted to develop a user friendly pill dispenser for seniors. The device also had innovations for indexing and tracking the pill dispensation and for providing user feedback.

Axiom was contracted to develop design concepts for the pill dispenser based the background research and consumer studies. This was followed by detailed mechanical design and engineering, system integration, prototype build and manufacturing feasibility evaluation.

Project Highlights :

• Detailed background research and consumer studies were carried out studying senior citizens and their habits, difficulties in terms of pill consumption
  
• Data Gathering, Analysis and Brainstorming
  
• Concept Development
  
• Early mockups and prototypes for ergonomics study
  
• Mechanisms Design and Development
  
• Detailed CAD modeling and Design
  
• Multiple Prototype builds and consumer testing
  
• Concept Refinement and final prototype build

Results:

The product has been patented and several variants are sold in partnership with Pharma companies

Core Competency Leverage:

Innovation, Design and Prototyping Skills, Mechanism, Testing and validation
