Automatic Pill dispenser Casing

First Idea for Pill dispenser, this was not continued with due to a change in functional requirements for the design.The idea behind this concept was for people with cognitive impairments who have trouble keeping track of difficult drug schedules, an automated solution would allow them to simply press a large button and have the proper button dispensed out of a particular cavity at a set time(each cavity is time locked so only activating by button press at the appropriate time). This function also allows for the caregiver pre-sorting the drugs from blister packs a way to track when the patient is taking their medication, and whether it has been missed. Due to a broader understanding of our user demographic, we determined a solution requiring a caregiver to sort the pills is not always an option for many people, thereby making this design obsolete.
