Overview

Patients with heart disease should take medication for at least 1 year after surgery to reduce the chance of recurrent cardiovascular events. However, due to the lack of incentives, fear of side effects, and easy to forget, patients' compliance with medications is very low. To improve their drug adherence, we proposed an IoT pill tracker connected to a mobile app to remind patients with minimal intervention.

Role

I designed App UI and created the prototype, the 3D model of the clip, and the demo animation video.
