A multi-billion dollar problem faced in health care is the issue of non-compliance or non-adherence. There have been a number of innovations that have addressed this issue, but relatively few have been widely adopted or have showed widespread impact. 

In this studio, we set out to attack non-adherence in three areas: chronic medication non-adherence, short-term medication non-adherence (i.e. anti-microbial agents), and dietary non-compliance. Through incorporating research of the current medical literature, user-design principles, and frequent iterations, students created functional prototypes of research-guided products with accompanying educational materials.
