Carepill is a smart pillbox designed for seniors who struggle with complex medication schedules, forgetfulness, and limited dexterity. It provides clear reminders, large-text guidance, and effortless pill retrieval through an intuitive physical interface. The pill layout is organized around a one-week supply with three daily doses, a structure informed by user research showing that family members typically visit or check in on seniors on a weekly basis and help manage medication routines during these visits. A connected display allows remote monitoring and emotional support from family members. Its modular, repairable structure and reusable pill containers promote sustainability. Carepill combines accessible interaction, emotional reassurance, and sustainable design to improve medication adherence and support seniors' independence.
