Not all medications are stable enough to be left at room temperature, so the conceptual 'Smart Medical Box' has been designed as a solution to help ensure everything can be stored in one spot without having to worry about refrigeration needs.
The unit features one spot for storing medications in a refrigerated environment, while the top portion offers a spot for stable pills and other gear to be stored to keep it nearby. The unit can be locked and monitored via the accompanying smartphone app, and is compact enough to be brought with you when traveling to ensure essential gear is always on hand.
The conceptual 'Smart Medical Box' is the design work of Ye Jin Won and Su Jin Yun, and can even send patients notifications to let them know when they need to take a dose or obtain a refill.
