This week after the ethics lecture and red teaming discussion, our team reflected on an important risk in our design. One major issue we realised is that if a caretaker enters the medication schedule or plls incorrectly, it could create serious health hazards for the user. To solve this problem, we decided that the app should include a feature where the prescribing doctor can review or verify the entered schedule before it the pill dispenser starts dispensing. This is something I plan to add on to the software design. On the software side, I have been spending time learning Typescript and practicing it before fully starting the app development. I have completed the initial set up and now preparing to build out the core app parts.
I aim to finish the basic features by the end of the week so that the software part is ready for the interim demo. Overall, in terms of the timeline, it is looking fine.
As a team, we aim to finish the hardware and software separately and integrate it post the interim demo.
