Errors in taking medication are common among older people, especially if they are taking five or more medications (polypharmacy). The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was to develop analog aids that support the taking and organization of medication and prevent errors in sorting.
Based on literature research and observations, a three-part concept was developed. This consists of packaging with clear information, a sorting aid for adapting to medication plans, and a dispenser with visual and tactile orientation.
