Never forget to take your meds again.

Inspiration

Our grandparents have a hard time reading and remember countless prescription meds, and our product aims to help us help them. Medicine should not be stressful, and neither should healing. With our product, we can help them, and everyone else, be safe and healthy.

What it does

It automatically scans and understands the prescription with Gemini AI, and adds it to your schedule. That then gets pushed to the pill dispenser which will open alongside an alert on your phone (and you do have to confirm before it locks due to security purposes).

How we built it

We built it with TypeScript, and created a desktop and mobile client through Progressive Web Apps (PWA). We used Google Antigravity alongside Kilo code to efficiently prototype ideas, whilst our core firmware was built independently for security purposes.

Challenges we ran into

We had issue with wiring, and getting the product working as intended. Since there are so many aspect to it, we had to divide up and efficiently work together with Git. Furthermore, we received our servos late due to shipment delays, but we eventually got it all together in time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a desktop client, a mobile client, several hardware prototypes within the first 12 hours of the competition.

What we learned

We learned a lot about microcontrollers and testing embedded systems.

What's next for SnapDose

We would love to get it in the hands of others for testing, and would design modular systems to account for different types of pills.
