Mission: Menstrual Health Equity
By combining digital fabrication, electronics, the project aims to make menstrual care more accessible, organized, and empowering.
This project is positioned within the FemTech field, which focuses on developing technology that addresses long-standing gaps in women's health and promotes a more open and informed relationship with menstrual care.
The Intelligent Dispenser
The system is a touchless smart dispenser for menstrual products that:
- Detects the user's hand using a sensor — no contact required
- Dispenses products automatically with precision control
- Stores multiple menstrual products in separate compartments
- Monitors stock levels using intelligent sensors
- Sends alerts and information through a mobile application
The goal: Transform a simple storage device into an interactive and intelligent health-support tool.
