The IATP Makers Program received a request for a custom pill map. The customer had a hard time remembering if she had taken her medications because they are complex and the schedule can be intense. Timing each medication matters for her health. She has tried various products for her medications, but none gave her a true solution. After hearing how this customer struggled, the team created a pill map she could slide over when she took it. This would help serve as a physical and tactile reminder. The customer found great success with this new reminder system that will aid her in her daily health. To learn more about the Makers Program visit https://makers.iltech.org/
