This product, rooted in the philosophy of ‘Making Health Management Part of Daily Life’, innovatively combines open ear Bluetooth headphones and a smart pill box. It offers chronic patients and health-conscious users a medication management and storage solution with medication reminders, while also addressing their psychological stress when taking medicines in public places.

The product establishes a dual privacy shield in visual and behavioral ways. Its minimalist square shape with rounded corners, complemented by ergonomic designs, ensures a comfortable grip and an approachable image; the semi-transparent PC lid with a UV coating boasts a glossy surface typical of consumer electronics, deliberately distancing itself from conventional designs that easily evoke associations with medication. Meanwhile, the push-to-open mechanism allows for one-handed operation—a stark contrast to conventional pill boxes requiring conspicuous lid-flipping. In addition, the product supports diverse reminders, including screen alerts, vibrations, notifications on the APP, and voice prompts through headphones, effectively improving users’ medication adherence.

For a better user experience, the modular pill box enables users to flexibly customize their own medication cycle (3-7 days), well adapting to various scenarios such as daily commuting and short-term travel. It also employs a child-lock feature and clever sealing strategies to prevent accidental opening and maintain the stability of medicines. As for material selection, the product strictly adheres to medical-grade standards, using food-grade PC coupled with an antibacterial coating to further enhance safety and hygiene.
