THE RESEARCH

We started in the people's homes, not labs

Before we designed anything, we sat in houses and watched the morning medicine round. We found strips cut in half, tablets loose in a steel dabba, and labels nobody could read. Nothing about it was careless.

  • WHAT WE REJECTED

A Reminder App

People did not need another notification. They needed their dose to be already waiting for them.

THE INTERVIEW

620+ patients, 10 elder homes
interviewed

The same three sentences came back in every language. I forget. I take the wrong one. I do not want to trouble my children.
Those three sentences became the product brief.

  • WHAT WE REJECTED

Asking the family to log every dose

Caregivers were already stretched thin. Anything that added one more daily task would be abandoned by the first week.

THE PROTOTYPE

165+ different pill samples, Built the mechanism 7 times

An Indian medicine drawer is not uniform from thyroid pills the size of a grain to calcium tablets you can barely swallow. Six mechanisms worked beautifully until one shape jammed them.

  • WHAT WE REJECTED

Anything that bothered users

Our cleanest mechanism failed on the smallest tablet. We kept the one that survived all 165 shapes.
