The Assistive Rotating Pill Container was specific designed to allow many different people with different kinds of disabilities to be able to easily use the pill container. It's also an improvement to the pill containers that have snap-on covers that may be hard to remove for some people as well as being hard to get the pills out. The container is shaped as a heptagon for each day of the week and as you rotate the pill container, the pills in the slot for the next day will fall out onto a plate that can easily be grabbed. The container is simply rotated by spinning the top or sides of the design clockwise. This allows people with limited hand or wrist mobility to easily rotate it to get the pills that they may need for the day. The top of the container, which is the part that allows you to spin it, has openings to allow you to easily put pills in by dropping it in the day of the week that you need it. The pill container consists of four parts which are individually 3D printed and assembled. The only thing that you need is a few drops of glue or adhesive to hold a couple of the parts together in a very simple and explained 5 step process. It's also designed so that the parts already interlock with each other so you can even use plain Elmer glue to do the job. Not only can people with disabilities use this product. Any can print it out and use it as a pill container. Not only is it functional but it also looks really neat as well. The Assistive Pill Container is very compact, yet extremely functional. Since it's so compact it doesn't require much plastic filament (3.63 cubic inches) in order to print out making it very cheap as well. There are absolutely no pill container that can compare to this one, especially for the disabled.
