Medication packaging often consists of blister packs or containers that need to be thrown away after use, so the conceptual 'MicroMed' portable medicine dispenser is positioned as a more eco-friendly alternative.
The medication packaging allows for intuitive refilling thanks to its cartridge system, which is perfect for those who need to regularly take medication. The entire unit ensures nothing is thrown out after use to reduce the amount of material that's headed to the landfill on a regular basis.
The conceptual 'MicroMed' portable medicine dispenser is the design work of Darius Fernandes, Jamie Saunders, Sebastian Gallimore and Vincent Lacsamana, and uses a color-coded system. This ensures that the dispensers, which all look the same, can be easily differentiated by the patient at medication time.
