Abstract
In a world where memory loss is an inevitable consequence of aging, it is important for technology to counteract this loss and work towards an effectual solution. At Xypnios Innovations, we will develop DispensAlert, a simple low technology solution that reminds its users to take their medication on a timely basis and as a result, maintain a healthy life style.DispensAlert allows the user to manually input or scan a barcode to program the unit's dispensing information. DispensAlert consists of two units: the main unit and the wristband unit. The main unit contains the dispensing mechanism and serves as a reservoir for medication. In addition, the main unit consists of a touch screen panel that serves as the user interface for the entire product. The user can easily acknowledge the dispensing or modify the dosage information through the display. The wristband unit is an ergonomically designed and easily adjustable component that resembles a watch. The wristband unit has user-friendly functions that alerts the user at the scheduled time and updates its internal schedule when synchronized with the main unit.
