3D Printed Pill Boxes

In addition to the health problems that come with AIDS, patients who suffer from this disease also deal daily with a strong social stigma. Because they need to take lots of pills everyday, they have a strong need to keep their treatment discrete. The students realized this problem after spending time and working with patients receiving a wide variety of services offered by the Broadway House for Continuing Care in Newark, New Jersey.

Inspired by them, the students decided to create 3D printed pill boxes, with the purpose of making their treatment more discrete and easy.

Using the university’s 3D printer, the team invented a cylindrical, white container, with a design intended to be portable, neutral and peaceful, from the simplistic design to the white color (for peace), so that patients can keep their treatment more discrete and peaceful.

“You may not be able to cure a patient’s situation, but you can make his or her day better and contribute to helping them look to the future with hope”, explained Jamie.
