This broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is to advance the common pill bottle, delivering benefits related to security of the contents and adherence-based functionality. This project has the potential to impact users of medicines, their caregivers, and the medicinal supply chain. Currently issues of dosage, timelines, access, expiration, security, refilling, prescription management, and safety are addressed by a complex set of stakeholders, and for some medications there is potential for abuse. This project will explore translation to users with special needs with regards to medicine type usage, security and safety, yielding cost savings and improved adherence to prescriptions. The value proposition for special needs individuals is an enhanced level of independence and healthy lifestyle related to their prescriptions. More generally, this technology represents a modern effort to address many facets of distribution of prescription medication, such as monitoring prescription adherence, preventing prescription abuse, and preventing unauthorized access to prescriptions.This I-Corps project will advance an Internet of Things (IoT) solution for mobile secure dispensing systems with innovations in design, testing and deployment. Advances in IoT sensors, actuators, communication, processing and power supply provide an opportunity to manage the process with improved security, safety and efficiency. This project will explore translation of a novel integration of hardware, such as a new combination of sensors, biometric scanner(s), a WiFi- and bluetooth-enabled microcomputer, and a customized locking mechanism through proprietary software. The new architecture and associated software enable a unique IoT-based prescription container aimed at preventing unauthorized access and providing users with alerts, reminders and notifications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是推进普通的药瓶，从而提供与内容的安全性和基于依从性的功能有关的收益。该项目有可能影响药物，护理人员和药用供应链的用户。目前，一组复杂的利益相关者解决了剂量，时间表，访问，到期，安全性，补充，处方管理和安全性的问题，对于某些药物而言，有可能滥用。 该项目将探索有关药物类型的使用，安全性和安全性，节省成本并改善对处方的依从性的用户的转换。特殊需求的价值主张个人是与他们的处方相关的独立性和健康生活方式的增强水平。更一般而言，这项技术代表了解决处方药分配的许多方面的现代努力，例如监视处方依从性，防止处方滥用以及防止未经授权获得处方的机会。本I-Corps项目将推动在设计，测试和部署中使用创新的移动安全性系统的物联网（IOT）解决方案。物联网传感器，执行器，通信，处理和电源的进步为通过提高的安全性，安全性和效率提高了流程提供了机会。该项目将探索硬件新颖集成的翻译，例如传感器，生物识别扫描仪，Wifi-and启用蓝牙的微型计算机以及通过专有软件的定制锁定机制的新组合。新的体系结构和相关软件启用了一个独特的基于IoT的处方容器，旨在防止未经授权的访问权限，并为用户提供警报，提醒和通知。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
