CAD and electronics for Smart Pill Dispenser (Prototype Stage) Ended

About the job

Project overview
- Developing a smart electronically controlled weekly medication dispenser targeting elderly and NDIS-eligible users. I am seeking an experienced embedded systems and/or mechatronics engineer to assist with prototype development.
The core engineering challenge
The heart of this device is an automated locking and unlocking mechanism for 28 individual compartment lids arranged in a grid (7 days X four times a day). The mechanism must:
• Automatically unlock one specific compartment lid at a scheduled time of day. There is an audio and visual notification to pick/collect the medication.
• Allow the patient to physically open that lid.
• If the patient does not ta take the pills, keep the lid unlocked for up to 2-3 hours (?held open without continuous power) or until the time when the next compartment is due to be unlocked.
• Automatically re-lock the compartment at the end of the unlock window if the patient has not accessed it
• Option of: Confirming via sensor that the lid was opened and closed correctly/ or pills have been taken
Full mechanism details — including grid layout, compartment dimensions, actuation approach, and locking geometry — are disclosed only after NDA is signed.
