OBJECTIVE:
Create a product that will help seniors (and anyone else who needs help) remember to take their medication and/or vitamins on time.
I decided on this topic because, as part of my Focus setting interviews with the target demographic, I found that there was a very noticeable pattern, many of my interviewees had problems remembering to take their medication and/or vitamins.
This is a serious problem as not taking important medication can often lead to a worsening of the existing medical condition and sometimes cause new conditions.
