1. Presentation
2. Modus operandi
3. Project proposals
4. Electronic logbook (Wiki)

We got introduced to all the topics. We chose the topic about Smart Healt and Well-being.

1. Project Choice
2. Project Proposal
3. Discuss about the possibilities for prototypes

We did the first meeting with the teachers and presented our idea. A pill dispenser itself already exist so if we want it to make a success, we should make sure that the product has new features and advantages. With the team we our thinking about a new invention.

Presentation was led by: Lena

1. Change of target audience and persona
2. Define the needs and problems
3. First concept and sketches
4. Blackbox
5. Backlog

Link presentation: https://www.canva.com/design/DAF-oqejcIs/1K_y0Xb3kNQRuNIa_3vkhQ/edit?utm_content=DAF-oqejcIs&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Changed the Target Group to Children of the age from 8 to 15 years old–> teachers had the idea to expand it to peoples with mental illnesses.

Focus/Solution: Pill Dispenser should bring a joyful and playful interaction to the children. Innovation: the Design and the including of a game and rewards with the medication taking process. Getting the forcing out of the process.

Input we got from the teachers: try to come as close as possible to find a solution to make it possible to dispense without supervision –> we still need to develop an idea for that. On the first brainstorming we came up with the idea of implementing a camera to make supervision possible on the Phone.

Presentation was led by: Stijn

1. List of materials and components
2. Logo and flyer
3. Wiki (feedback)
4. Drafts of the product
5. Black Box diagram new version

We presented our agenda. The feedback that we got was very usefull and the teachers made some good comments. Some components should be speficied and all the materials and components should have a supplier. This information should be added to the list and maybe we can add the delivery time aswell. The logo and flyer have been positively received, Ana, the teacher form Communication was also excited of our design and logo. The State of the Art has started well, to make an improvement, we should give more explaination about pill dispensers that already exist, what kind of features they have and how they are smart. The concept of the pill dispenser we had wasn't great. The design was too angular and not child friendly, we will think about a new concept to implement the feedback of the teachers. As last we presented the Black Box diagram that we had renewed. They recognized it as a Black Box diagram but it still wasn't the way it should be.

Presentation was led by: Noé

1. Structural Drafts, Detailed Schematics and cardboard model
2. State of the art
3. Wiki (general)
4. Feedback for Black Box diagram and questions about the Interim Deliverables & Send S&P Assessment?

We have make it more appealing our design. The schematics where good.

Presentation was led by: Stijn and Noé

1. Wiki improvements
2. New design concept/ideas
3. Some guidelines of the interim presentation (How long ? Number of slides ? What content is expected ?)
4. S&P Assessment

We presented our concept but there was not really feedback from this idea. For the Wiki, many improvements are still possible. We will do our best to make these improvements before the April 7 deadline. In addition to making these adjustments, we will start making a presentation, it must be ready by Wednesday evening, April 10.

Presentation was led by: Tibo

1. Interim presentation

Feedback has been received via pdf.

The interim presentation was lead by every team member.

1. 3d model video/slide with the new design
2. Ask the teacher when do we need to deliver our prototype
3. Why do we have to write an introduction for the introduction
4. Can we visit the lab to see the available resources? (soldering iron, tin for soldering, standard components we don't need to buy) Who to contact for this?
5. Should we also include the 3d printed elements in the list of components or just the electronics/parts to buy?
6. What software should we use for the stress analysis? What could be studied on a product like ours?

It was a productive meeting, we received a lot of useful feedback and are motivated to continue working on this. Some minor adjustments are needed for our 3d video, but our first version was generally well received. The guidelines for the prototype have also become clearer. We know what to consider and what is expected of us. In addition, the paper we have to write has been explained. 10 pages long with a synthetic overview of our project. More information will follow later. For now, we will continue working on the Wiki to make further improvements and make sure the list of components is ready before the deadline to get our prototype done in time.

Presentation was led by: Tamara

1. List of components
