SCHEDULING – ME-OW, Who are you?

•  “Non ti scordar di me-ow” cares about you! it’s a

reminder and a health helper.
•  When you Wake up and go to have breakfast, It’ll
starts to blink his eyes, vibrate his nose and makes
gentle moves, To remind to take your therapy.
•  It’s sweet and sounds without screaming.
•  It Helps you to not forget your daily first action, in
a Not Intimidanting but evocative way.
Abstract and ME-ow Reasons
•  I wanted to help myself with this object: a milky brik with a
cat’s face, to remind me my daily pills to take before to
have breakfast, as many times I forget to do grabbing my
cereals instead.
•  I choose a kind object that will be put in a strategic place
near to my breakfast stuff to enter in action, thanx to a
photocell that capts my movements, in a kind way
(otherwise I will smash it to the floor) in the morning. It
have a button to switch on and off the machine. I used a DC
motor, a photocell and leds.
•  I preferred to not reproduce any design to have something
totally mine.
•  I choose the Milk Brik to remind me the therapy before
breakfast.
•  I thought to the cat face because is an animal with a great
expression, he comunicates without bein aggressive and in
a funny, elegant way.Even if I’m alergic to cats.
•  I choose this concepts because was the most ‘maybe-useful-
to-others’ , I thought to kids that have my same therapy
problem
