Contributions & Outcomes
I acted as a founding member of this startup team to develop the OTOO product. In addition to my product management role, I was responsible for developing the UI, UX,and electronics for the cutting, dispensing, and pill counting. The final product was a fully functional vending machine that may dispense a single dose of medication on demand from a bulk cartridge of medication. The cartridge and medication packaging may be fully recycled and reused.
