Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Smart medication dispenser
FY 2016-17
Summary
MedsReport Inc. is developing and commercializing a prescription drug tracking dispenser that incorporates a tracking and reporting system that can directly transfer information to the appropriate health care provider. It will provide individuals with information on the last pill taken and can be set up to provide reminders of when the next medication should be taken. In addition, it has a secure feature that will only dispense the prescribed amount and can be password protected to allow only the person to whom the medication has been prescribed to access the bottle. MedsReport has approached SAIT's Applied Research and Innovation Services (ARIS) department to help integrate their mechanical design with their electronic system and increase its versatility and reliability with different medications. The company will benefit from the advanced fabrication expertise and facilities at ARIS, and obtain insights, design files and product prototypes that will help them meet their commercialization goals.
