Project Overview

This project will create a way for users to always remember to take time-sensitive medication as well as have that medication readily available. A bracelet that holds a weekly supply of medication will alert the wearer at a certain time each day to take said medication. The problem we are tackling with this device is the issue with certain time sensitive medication, particularly birth control. In the case of birth control, perfect use (taken at same time each day) leads to more than 99% effective birth control, whereas imperfect use is only about 92% effective.

Challenges

Most projects run into unexpected issues. Challenges we foresee for this project include:

• Finding a microprocessor that is the right balance small, workable, and inexpensive
• Programming the microprocessor
• Creating a bracelet design that will efficiently fit all pieces
• Finding a way to check battery level without using too much charge in the process
