Medicine Dispenser

Designed to improve safety and ergonomics and pill distribution in the home, this pill dispenser is the replacement for the standard weekly pill organizers. Built to live on the counter rather than in the drawer, this product increases the medication visibility, thus reducing the risk of missing a dosage. It also dispenses dosages sequentially, reducing the risk of taking the wrong day’s dosage. The form factor is designed for arthritic patients who may have a hard time gripping smaller objects. The large rubber pad on the back creates enough surface area to easily grip and the lever is designed to be pushed with the side of the hand rather than a finger.
