About Petals Envàs per a medicaments

Petals és un envàs de medicaments multifuncional dissenyat per a usuaris de més edat. La forma es basa en una flor amb set pètals, i cada pètal conté la dosi corresponent a un dia. Cada pètal porta imprès un número per facilitar-ne la identificació. Una línia de tall al disc central permet extreure una sola píndola. En trencar un pètal s'esquinça el paper d'alumini i es destrueix part del número, la qual cosa indica que aquell dia encara queda una altra dosi per prendre. El centre transparent és una làmina convexa de plàstic plena d'aigua, de manera que el centre funciona com una lupa per llegir les instruccions.

Unique Properties: This is a drug package designed for the old man.The packaging using seven petals modelling design, each petals corresponding to a day's dosage of separate, and there is a corresponding number markers, It is convenient for old people to identify .The disc in the middle set the cutting line to facilitate easy access single pill.When breaking the petals the part of the foil will be torn at the same time, and the number also be destroyed in the middle of the figures, Destruction of Numbers suggest the old man to take another medicine today.In the middle of the transparent part is convex type of plastic,in the transparent plastic filled with water,it has the function of magnifying glass convenient for old people to read the instruction .
Dimensions & Packaging: The size of the packaging is 100mm x 100 mm x 100 mm .Using tin foil and plastic material, and the existing pharmaceutical packaging material the same. The middle of the transparent part of the plastic wrapped with transparent liquid material, has a good light transmission,Using optical principles to make it has a magnifying glass function, user-friendly to read the use of books, while reducing manufacturing costs, ring design to maximize the use of space.
Tags: Ease to use, reminding, interesting, multi-functional,help to read,can be used as a magnifying glass
Production Technology: Middle transparent part adopts convex type thin plastic sheet, middle seal water, form a magnifier function at the same time saving plastic material, green environmental protection.Peripheral part adopts now generic drug packaging materials such as plastic and foil, mature technology, the cost is easy to control,ang it is very cheap.
Design Challenge: For the old man, to break the traditional form of particles in the packing of the drugs and use that for drugs in the elderly is easy to identify, easy to take, the innovative use of water transparency, fusion function of magnifying glass, make old people don't use the small text on the external tool can directly read the instructions.Difficulty is in the middle of the zoom function part of the actual sealing and circular modelling for certain waste of space.
Research: This is a drug package designed for the old man.The old man due to age and body, hand function degradation, their fingers is flexible, hard to tear tin foil and taking drugs;Can't see the instructions because of eyes degradation and presbyopia;Memory degradation,always forget whether to take any medicine or how many pills to take, etc.The packaging using seven petals modelling design, each petals corresponding to a day's dosage of separate, and there is a corresponding number markers, It is convenient for old people to identify .The disc in the middle set the cutting line to facilitate easy access single pill.When breaking the petals the part of the foil will be torn at the same time, and the number also be destroyed in the middle of the figures, Destruction of Numbers suggest the old man to take another medicine today.In the middle of the transparent part is convex type of plastic,in the transparent plastic filled with water,it has the function of magnifying glass convenient for old people to read the instruction .
Inspiration: This is a drug package designed for the old man.The shapeof the design is inspired by flowers,and the motive is I want to help my grandfather to take medicine more convenient. The old man due to age and body, hand function degradation, their fingers is flexible, hard to tear tin foil and taking drugs;Can't see the instructions because of eyes degradation and presbyopia;Memory degradation,always forget whether to take any medicine or how many pills to take, etc.So I want to design a drug packaging, on the premise of not to raise the cost of production, to facilitate the old man to use.
Project Duration: Projektdauer is 3 weeks.The project started in February 2017 in Wuhan University of Technologyand finished in march 2017 in Wuhan University of Technology.
Operation Flow: when once two grains be taken，direct break a disc and the foil also will be torn, when Taking a single grain, from the cutting line broken, number will be destroyed at the same time, reminding still need take one more pill today.When you need to read the instructions information, the middle of the transparent part can be used directly as a magnifying glass.
