		<description>As a daily pill taker myself, I was looking for a well designed product to carry with me every day. I currently use a translucent plastic single dosage pill box made by Muji, as well as their weekly pillbox for when I am traveling. They are somewhat basic but are quite well designed and like many Muji products, are very quiet in nature. For a special occasion, such as a formal dinner, I sometimes use a vintage silver Dunhill pillbox.   
  
I find the Sabi Vitality range of products to be quite fascinating. They seem to be very well thought out and I appreciate the comprehensive range of the product line. I&#039;ve yet to handle the products themselves, but based on the website, they look quite impressive. Kudos to Fuseproject.   </description>

		<description>Really very impressed with this range. As a masters student in Product Design my work has developed a deep focus on the stigma associated with design for disability and medical products in general. It really is so vital that products such as these are DESIGNED, and like you say we really need to step away from the beige! Even the idea of branding the products is important, as well as giving them a visual language that is harmonious with the rest of the range. We expect this in every other type of product, and work such as this will help to bridge the gap between &quot;mainstream design&quot; and &quot;design for need&quot;.  
 
I particularly like the use of colour to indicate the point of interaction. Practical without being condescending. 
 
I saw someone earlier believes the pill crusher is more hassle than it&#039;s worth. And although I&#039;m not a fan of products for the sake of products (for anyone in England, I call this the JML effect), I think it&#039;s important to remember than people are happy to have &quot;gadgets&quot; like this in, for example, the kitchen. You could argue that you can just as easily use a teaspoon to remove a teabag from a cup, yet people still choose to buy those tong things that are designed specifically for that purpose. They choose to because it&#039;s something they do every day, and it&#039;s nice to think that someone has spent time designing for an activity that is important to you. I think it&#039;s great that someone has given value to an activity such as crushing pills - not everyone needs it but not everyone wants to hack other tools to do this job. I agree you wouldn&#039;t need it for the odd paracetamol, but as someone who needs daily meds I can empathise that someone would appreciate THEIR tool for THEIR condition - giving ownership and control over symptom management. 
 
Again, I&#039;m loving this - not just the products but the whole ethos behind it. </description>

See blue pill/white pill idea in this talk, Brilliant! An incentive for patients to take all of the pills of a prescription, given them 40 white pills, and 6 blue pills. Tell the patient to take the blue pills only when all the white pills are gone creating a finish point for the antibiotics.  </description>

		<description>Hi kelly, 
Sorry to hear you think that. But there is good news -- soon we hope to offer Sabis in different colors. It&#039;s something that&#039;s in the pipeline. Stay tuned! </description>
