Toddlers reject medicine because it is unfamiliar.
I interviewed parents of toddlers to learn more about their kid’s struggles:
At this point, my concept for the product shifted from being a medicine administration device to a medicine familiarization device. Since children would begin direct contact with the product, I did some ergonomics testing.
The Solution
Design a system for kids to familiarize and play with medicine.
