Core idea
Grandma loses her mind : isolated, she cannot make the
20 minutes–ride to the doctor or think about taking all her
pills. Adapted to frequent prescription patients, the iziMED
machine will concentrate the different pills which were
prescribed by the doctor in an unique one thanks to the 3D
printer system and facilitate the medication regime. iziMED
device will be adaptable to Grandma`s house in order to make
it less visible for visitors. It will also integrate a reminder
device to simplify her life.
