Project Background & Market Scale
Problem & Challenge
Aging Population Challenge – As society ages, medication management for seniors with memory impairments and chronic conditions has become an urgent issue.
⚠️ Alarming Statistics –
⚠️Nearly 40% of seniors experience some form of memory loss, leading to missed doses and medication errors.
⚠️ Medication noncompliance results in 125,000 preventable deaths annually.
⚠️ Costs the U.S. healthcare system over $100 billion each year.
🚫 Limitations of Existing Solutions – Many current products lack usability, personalization, and accessibility, leaving a significant gap in effective medication management.
Iaso offers a forward-thinking approach to medication management by combining a smart device and app ecosystem to streamline medication routines, provide timely reminders, and ensure accurate dosing. This solution significantly improves the lives of older adults by reducing the complexity of daily medication management and enhancing their well-being.
This innovative concept has been recognized globally, earning prestigious accolades such as the Red Dot Concept Design Award, Red Dot Brand & Communication Design Award, Muse Gold Award, and an IDA Design Award nomination.
