As final project I want to make device which keeps track of medication, reminds to reception, sends notifications to smartphone. From the smartphone app user will set the reminder and cap will remind user by light to take pills. When cap is opened, it counts as taking pills in time, and then sends timestamp to smartphone.

I started to find similar projects which already implemented

I want to design original cap mechanics, and smartphone application. Cap will be made from PLA plastics, by 3D printing. Electronics and battery will be inside cap. I will use some standard plastics bottle or will cast my version.

Ans so, - CAD & CAM - additive technology - electronics production - molding and casting

will be used in my final project.

All needed materials are on fablab:

  • PLA plastics
  • casting plastics
  • electronics components:
SS494B Product link 320Р / 3.5$ Hall sensor to check if cap was opened
KPT-3216CGCK Product link 480Р (20pt) / 7.5$ LEDs for reminder indication

Anyway I have some questions:

  • How to fit electronics parts into the cap?
  • Is battery small enough to fit?
  • Is magnetic-based lock will be enough for good user experience?

Project plan:

  • make some customer development to refine requirements
  • answer the questions above
  • buy additional components
  • design and manufacture PCB board
  • finalize the cap design
  • implement mobile application, which will control the bottle
  • finish the project description and presentation
