Current medical pill packaging does not allow people, diagnosed with legal blindness, to identify the medication or its instructions of consumption by its packaging unless they have the ability of reading braille (less than 10% of the blind population can read braille) or without the aid of a supporter. This may lead to an error in which wrong medicine may be consumed, or consumed in wrong manner (overdose) which may lead to severe health risks.

 

1. this device allows pharmacists to record the information required to identify the medication and understand the instructions of its consumption onto the device, and attach it to each medication purchased by a blind customer

2. the customer is then able to identify each medication by pressing the button and hearing the instructions. furthermore, pulling the device will aid in opening the box

3. the customer then returns the device and packaging to the pharmacist to return their deposit or attach the device onto a new packaging
