Rethinking Prescription Medication Delivery

The Current State

Walk into any pharmacy and you'll see the same system that has existed for decades: plastic bottles with child-proof caps and paper labels. It works, but does it work well?

The Opportunity

With advances in smart technology, materials science, and connected devices, we have an unprecedented opportunity to rethink medication delivery from the ground up.

Key Insights

• Adherence drops significantly with complex regimens
• Portability is a major unmet need
• Technology should assist, not complicate
• The pharmacy-to-patient pipeline needs modernization

Moving Forward

Designers have a responsibility to tackle healthcare challenges with the same rigor and creativity we bring to consumer products. The stakes are higher, but so is the potential impact.
