Tabot: helping the elderly
Donation protected
Help me help my grandfather (and other too)!!
I'm a young inventor/DIY-er and I was recently visiting my grandparents and was responsible for helping care for them while they were on holidays. While away on holidays the carer accidentally gave my grandfather the wrong tablets at the wrong time. He was ok. I would like to help reduce the occurrence of this event which could, in certain circumstances, be fatal.
I have created what we have called a Tabot. It is an automatic pill dispenser and reminder. The carer once a week will fill the Tabot and leave it in the residence of the person who needs the tablets (my grandfather). Each day or hour of whatever you set the Tabot to it will release the required tablets into a holder. It will buzz and flash to remind the person to take the tablets. When they put their hand under the top piece the tablets are released into their hand.
This is my very first prototype of the working Tabot
This will hopefully help my grandfather and many other elderly and tablet dependant people.
I need some money to get our second working prototype up and running and hopefully get the project started and make it available to many many people. Sadly getting a plastic prototype made is extremely expensive. Hopefully, if we start making them in bulk the price should be 150 - 200 dollars each. We need proximately 800 for a 3D printer or to pay for a 3D printing service to help us start manufacturing a few limited release prototypes, the other 200 is for other parts that make up the Tabot.
My grandfather and I would both really appreciate the support.
This is our CAD design that we need funding to start production
