Refrigerated Medication Caddies

The 'Smart Medical Box' Keeps Medications Stored and Fresh

— December 30, 2017 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. Refrigerated Medication Storage - There is an opportunity to develop innovative ways to store medications that require refrigeration, in order to improve accessibility and convenience for patients.
2. Smart Medical Devices - There is potential for the development of more smart medical devices that come with apps and can be monitored remotely from a smartphone.
3. Travel-friendly Medical Devices - There is a need to develop more compact and travel-friendly medical devices to make it easier for patients to carry their medicine and other essentials with them when they are on-the-go.
Industry Implications
1. Pharmaceuticals - Pharmaceutical companies can explore the opportunities to develop more innovative medication storage solutions that can enhance the quality and accessibility of their products.
2. Medical Technology - Medical device companies can focus on developing smart medical devices and apps that can help patients manage their medication regimen more efficiently and effectively.
3. Travel and Leisure - Travel and leisure companies can consider partnering with medical device companies to offer more travel-friendly medical devices that can cater to the needs of travelers who require medication and other medical essentials.
