People with difficulty in vision are likely to be exposed to the risk of not taking necessary drugs or taking wrong medicines due to not being able to distinguish the types of drugs in the process of buying and taking household medicine, as well as not being aware of the right expiration date. Therefore, O-cure delivers the expiration date of the drug to visual and tactile information, and also makes it possible to know the type of medicine. It's not just the blind It is a design that can be applied universally including ordinary people. The overall appearance is a timer-type product that fixes medicine. It should be used differently according to the type of medicine stored, expiration date, and use. When a chip with built-in pcb is mounted on a magnetic rail, the chip rotates along the rail. At this time, when the chip reaches the other side, it means that the expiration date of the drug has expired. To make it easier for the visually impaired to use, strong color contrast and brightness contrast were provided, and three-dimensional differences on the surface made it possible to read by hand.
