A 3D Printed Assistive Technology Intervention

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the feasibility of using a 3D printer to create tailored assistive technology rehabilitation devices. Specifically, we are investigating if a tailored 3D printed pillbox is safe, acceptable, and effective compared to an off-the-shelf generic pillbox. In this study, approximately 20 people with chronic health conditions who use pillboxes will describe their satisfaction and medication adherence with their current pillbox using a series of surveys and interviews. Then they will partake in an interview about their pillbox, medications, and routines. Based on the interview, the research team will 3D print a new pillbox tailored to the participant's preferences, abilities, and medication regimen. Then the participant will use the pillbox for 2-8 weeks. At the end, the participant will answer the same questions describing their satisfaction and medication adherence with the new pillbox using a series of surveys and interviews. This research will reveal important knowledge about the potential of 3D printing in the clinic and effectiveness of customized assistive technology.
