Paper App
Recently our team has been working with one of our pharmaceutical clients to design a system to help their patients, mainly the elderly, manage complex dosage schedules for some of their medications. Adherence had been a big issue for them and this particular regimen involved administering 3 different types of medicine multiple times a day – each at varying schedules that tapered off at different rates over the course of 4 weeks.
Initially, we were tinkering around with ideas for apps or cheap disposable electronic devices, but due to a number of factors around cost and regulatory issues, we soon realized we’d need to come up with a purely analog approach. In the end, this ended up being a really fun challenge.
