INTRODUCTION
Throughout their lives, people face various diseases. Our immune system daily reflects the attacks of viruses and hostile bacteria, but it strength is not always enough to cope with the onslaught of pathogens. According to the World Health Organization, 71% of deaths in the world occur because of chronic diseases.
For the treatment of these diseases, people have to take a lot of medications, this is extremely inconvenient and breaks the routine of a person's life. To improve the treatment process, in cases where it is necessary to take many different drugs, sick people can use stationary or mobile pill dispensers. However, modern dispensers do not provide comfort and convenience of their use by patients with chronic diseases. If we consider mobile dispensaries, then the vast majority of them are plastic pillboxes with written "morning / afternoon / evening" on them. A person has to fill such portable boxes with pills on their own, it takes a very long time, and there is also a risk of forgetting this kind of box at home, or not taking the drugs on time. That’s a fact there is no service solution in the field of personal medicine that provides constant monitoring of the patient, providing comfort throughout the entire cycle of taking medications.
PORTRAIT
In the United States, approximately 40% of adults have at least two chronic diseases. According to the world statistics, in more than one third of cases, people die from chronic diseases not at old age, but at the age of 30 to 69 years.
At the same time, most chronic diseases require constant cyclical taking of medications for treatment. A person has to take such drugs not only at home, but also take them for a whole day, for weeks, months or even years. Sometimes there are so many drugs that patients begin to face many difficulties, for example:
· The patient forgets to take the necessary medications with him leaving home.
· The patient must independently make decisions about increasing or decreasing the dosage of the drug.
· The patient finds himself in a state of uncertainty if he does not know whether he can take one drug if he forgot to take another.
· The patient does not remember whether he has taken the necessary medications or not yet.
· The patient does not remember which drug to take next.
· The patient may get lost in his own schedule of taking medications.
· The patient may take the wrong drug, or make a mistake with the dosage, which will lead to deterioration of his physical condition.
· The patient must independently make decisions about increasing or decreasing the dosage of the drug.
· The patient finds himself in a state of uncertainty if he does not know whether he can take one drug if he forgot to take another.
· The patient does not remember whether he has taken the necessary medications or not yet.
· The patient does not remember which drug to take next.
· The patient may get lost in his own schedule of taking medications.
· The patient may take the wrong drug, or make a mistake with the dosage, which will lead to deterioration of his physical condition.
KEY IDEA
Thanks to digitalization and modern technologies, and creating of a service to watch for human health, as well as the connection to the service of a mobile electronic pill dispenser, it will be possible to create an ecosystem that allows people with chronic diseases to improve their user experience, so it will be possible to help them take medications on time during treatment cycles.
CONCEPT
It is necessary to provide a person with the necessary drugs, in strict accordance with the combination proscribed by the doctor, when a person is not at home.
To do this, we have developed a mobile tablet dispenser, which makes it possible not just to give out a tablet, but to give out the necessary drug at a set time. To do this, we propose to make combinations of the necessary medicines at pharmaceutical organizations, in accordance with all sanitary standards. According to the advice of specialists from the **** company, pharmaceutical organizations have the ability to create circular blisters

To do this, we propose to make combinations of the necessary medicines at pharmaceutical organizations, in accordance with all sanitary standards. According to the advice of specialists from the **** company, pharmaceutical organizations have the ability to create circular blisters
Thanks to the circular blister, we can fill it with the necessary drugs, in accordance with an individual combination for each patient, and then a person can comfortably place this blister in the mobile dispenser, which has a mechanism similar to a revolver. Each blister has a unique QR code, which is assigned individually for each patient.
The conceptual proposal implies the application for a smartphone. With application, a person will be able to set up communication with a dispenser and a wearable health tracker, communicate with pharmaceutical companies and doctors, order blisters with drugs, choose a convenient delivery time, choose the color of the dispenser and much more.
Dispenser has an extremely small size, so it can be placed anywhere you want, in a bag or even in your pocket. You can charge dispenser with the wireless charging station. There is enough battery capacity for using dispenser for thirty days.
SUMMARY
We have created a conceptual design of a mobile pill dispenser, which is part of a service that can help people with chronic diseases take a large number of medications during their treatment cycles, and not complicate their normal life with processes which require concentration and unnecessary waste of time. Thanks to the service, a person no longer needs to read the instructions for drugs, remember their side effects and other contents. A person will feel more secure in unforeseen situations, and know that his health is constantly monitored by doctors remotely. The dispenser's capabilities are scalable, so for example, it can help people who forget to drink vitamins.
The service is able to speed up and make more effective the recovery process of sick people, improve their lives, and simplify overcomplicated treatment processes.
