Week 3: Applications and Implications(MAY 25)

Assignment

Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered I have fixed my project idea within 3 weeks of this fab academy journey-An electronic pill box equipment for Alzhiemer's patients to use medication management. , i would like to make an electronic pill box with wrist band,if it is not possible will make a portable handy smart electronic pill box.This can categarize as "consumer electronics".This device can alert Alzhiemers patient to take her pills on time and should notify her which pill she should take at that time by beeping buzzer,blinking LED and display mesage.

what will i do?

I will make an electronics pill box for Alzhiemers patients,iam making this device for my grandma,she is suffering Alzhiemers disease for past 3 years,Technology can help us see, hear and communicate better. Applying innovations in technology to the specific needs of Alzheimer’s patients would be a great thing in the way ,technology for humanity,so that we can give them a life safer and more independent .

who's done what beforehand?

There are so many products available in market for medication management,but i need a device based on my requirement,a device to alert by display message,beeping buzzer and Led blinking ,device should be capable to store 1 week medication (3 times per day).

what materials and components will be required?

Wrist band-Molding and casting,Meterials-Wax mold,Silicon rubber,
Pill box base-3D printing,meterial-ABS
Pill compartment divider-3d printing
Pill box cover-Laser cutting-Red acrylic(6mm)
Electronics part-PCB Board,LED-3 no.s,Buzzer,LCD Display,Microcontroller,Resistors,Capacitors,Resonator.,ftdi cable,Fab ISP.
