Reflection

This week was really helpful as i devised a system for my pill dispenser for people with Parkinsons Disease to make it simple for them to hold and dispense their medication. As seen in the posters the system is made from 4 parts with the inner housing being the replaced when medication runs out. Initially the packaging was in a slide open position but actually locked. After discussion with Mar and my focus group it would make more sense if the packaging was closed and locked rather than opened and locked as this is the way the human brain would deceive it. The placement of the whole where the pill dispenses from was also a talking point as it was in the centre and there might be a possibility that the pills may not fall out. I have now moved the whole from the centre to the corner as it will be easier to guid the pill out. The overall size of the packaging was good but in the replacement mechanism could be easier to open for pharmacists and replace then this would save time when refilling a script. This would be a huge plus because the last thing people with PD want to do is spend half their time at the chemist. Overall good feed back and ready for a busy week ahead.
