Report

The final report will cover all areas of the Design Strand Project and provide a summary of all activities for the year. This is a type written report (hardcopy and electronic) of no more than 10 A4 pages covering design, design calculations, a description of the breadboarding and final built vero board design, all testing procedures developed in the laboratory, results measured in the laboratory and discussion and any consequential changes to the originally designed circuitry/programming, and a description of any problems encountered and the individual solutions to those problems and who in the team was the original member who suggested the successful solution. This should include electronic photographs of the finished vero board working circuits, the final stages of preparation for the innovation fair and the problems encountered and solved during session. The discussion should include an assessment of the results measured in final product against how close this final product is to the original functional specifications. See Subject Outline for assessment weight.

1. Executive Summary
Our product provides a unique solution for dementia patients to receive and take medication according to a schedule without direct supervision. It accomplishes this via the Internet of ThingsTM (IoT, where the "S" stands for "Security") which allows a caregiver to remotely monitor the status of everything they need to know.

2. Team Roles
We operate as a projectised organisation where all members of the team are responsible for any tasks they can contribute to, natch
Nestor's job is to be retarded at every opportunity, and Daniel is to assist when insufficient retardation is available

3. Introduction
Dementia patients are unable to manage their own medication reliably, posing a hazard to their health and causing stress for their family. Simple calendar boxes that allow a carer to provide certain medication in compartments labelled by the day are known to assist, however this is not foolproof.
Our product automates all the stress and sends status updates to The CloudTM so busy relatives can have peace of mind.
a. Summary of the product
b. Detail description

4. Design specifications
a. Scheduled dispensing of medicine
b. Multiple medication types (extensible??)
c. Precise dispensing of medicine
d. User alerting
e. User confirmation/input
f. Collection checking mechanism
Original plans involved RFID stuff that seemed somewhat infeasible and not particularly relevant to the problem we wanted to solve.

5. Construction
We have an amazing state machine for driving a set of four servos (designed to be fully extensible!!) that feed medications one at a time into the collection tray. Pressure sensor detects if it is there and consequently that it has not been removed.

6. Testing and Quality Control
It's just a simulation there's not really much to go wrong ¯\_(?)_/¯
We made sure both types of alarm thing will sound at the programmed sets were activated

7. Setbacks and Replanning
Our team formed as a merger of two groups which had each lost members and then later lost one afterwards, so our projects have been affected by quite significant and unplanned changes in approach idk

8. Commercialisation and Marketing
a. Budget
b. Marketing strategy
a. Targeted advertising
b. Professional endorsements
