DESIGN NAME: Visible Time
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Timed Fading Capsule
INSPIRATION: I have accidentally eat expired drugs. Not only is there no health, but it is getting sicker and heavier. Because I didn't care about the shelf life of drugs. Therefore, I think if you can directly see how much the shelf life of the drug is left when you take the medicine. Let the drug shelf life be like a video progress bar, the longer the drug production date, the shorter the progress bar. This way, many elderly people with poor eyesight can take medicine with confidence and will not cause damage to the body.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Visible time is a new modification to traditional capsules, with a progress bar printed on our side of the capsule with our patented ink. As time goes by, the progress bar will become shorter and the color of the progress bar will become lighter. Once the progress bar has come to an end, the drug has expired. The patient can know if the drug has expired by observing the color of the progress bar. So as to avoid patients eating expired drugs.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Observe the progress bar next to the capsule before taking the medicine. The longer the progress bar shows the color, the farther the drug is from the shelf life. The shorter the part of the progress bar showing the color, the more the drug is expired. Once the color of the progress bar fades, the drug is not edible. For some elderly people who do not see the shelf life, this progress bar provides them with great health protection.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2018 and was completed in February 2019 in Shenyang.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This type of capsule is produced in the same way as regular capsules except for the progress bar. They are all made of plastic box tin foil. The material of the progress bar ink is water solvent, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, glycerin, and colorant. Production can then be achieved by printing a progress bar onto the capsule.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 100*60*1mm
Each capsule contains 18 capsules

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In order to obtain high quality products, refer to the professional methods of international drug safety standards. Changes to the capsule package can directly reduce the number of patients who consume expired drugs. Great contribution to the world's health and contribution to each ill person.
CHALLENGE: The selection of the dye for the progress bar was the hardest part of the design. We looked for a long time coating and finally got the dye in one accident. The choice of the color of the progress bar is also a problem that has plagued us for a long time. Finally, we finally chose the most eye-catching color, so that people can directly know whether the drug has expired.
