# Pill-Repackaging Kits The Project Dose Kit Lets Parents Split Up Pills for Kids Properly By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-06-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-dose References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/06/pill-dividing-kit-developing-world.html) With parents often wrongly dividing pills for kid-sized doses, agencies Bao Design Lab and Technology for Tomorrow decided to create the Project Dose kit. The kit was built to help parents [divide adult-sized pills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadpack-dropify-bottle) into a size suitable for kids in the developing world. Since pills are often very expensive, dividing pills up is often a necessity. The Project Dose kit lets parents split pills up and then [repackage them into their mini equivalents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modobloom-pill-organizer). This is a necessity because buying adult sizes is often more cost effective than buying child doses. The kit includes a metal crusher, plastic scraper and a divider. Using the crusher, you can pulverize a pill into a [fine powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tylenol-easy-dissolve). That powder can then be scraped into the divider using the plastic scraper. The divider seals up with an adhesive and has pull tabs to release medication for each day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pill-dividing Technology:** Developing innovative technologies for parents to accurately divide pills for child-sized doses. - **Affordable Medication Access:** Finding ways to make medication more accessible and affordable, particularly for children in the developing world. - **Smart Packaging Solutions:** Creating packaging solutions that allow for easy and accurate division of medication. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Innovating in the healthcare industry by developing new tools and technologies to improve medication administration for children. - **Pharmaceuticals:** Exploring new methods and packaging solutions to improve accurate dosage and access to medication. - **Consumer Goods:** Introducing convenient and user-friendly packaging solutions for consumer goods, such as medication kits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dosage-Managing Medicine Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medeasy.md) - [Child-Friendly Medication Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singing-bottle.md) - [Accessible Pill Dispenser Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solopill.md) - [Kid-Friendly Oral Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensodynes-kidlid.md) - [Single-Handed Pharmaceutical Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapslide.md) - [Countertop Pill Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m7-pill-organizer.md) - [Private Label Pill Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-dispensing-system.md) - [Friendly Medication Dispenser Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mymemo-pill-dispenser.md) - [Wall-Mounted Medication Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadence-medication-dispenser.md)
