In class discussion: When I looked into the issue of accessibility, I came across a number of ways one could safeguard their prescription medication. Mobility was also an issue I looked into, and by means of security and locking devices, I started seeing ways behavior could be affected, and hopefully lifestyle would change due to these affects. In the coming weeks, I will look into a total analysis of who are these people that access prescription medication, where they are, and specifically looking into how they are obtained. Stakeholders will need to be pinpointed, and characters will need to be introduced.

Hi Ga-Ram,
So,the problem becomes how to safeguard pill bottles in the bathroom from naughty family members and house guest, right? As I see it, there are two things that could happen: 1, the miscreant takes a few pills but leaves behind the bottle, hoping that no one will notice, or, if they do, no one will put two-and-two together, since everyone goes into the bathroom and locks the door regularly, so anyone could have taken the pills. The other thing that could happen is that the mischief-maker takes the whole bottle. that is clearly more brazen, because the absense of the whole bottle is noticeable as soon as the medicine cabinet is opened. So, you could have a camera in the medicine cabinet that would secretly take video any time the cabinet was opened. Or, there are probably a lot of other cool things you could do with various high tech, low power, low cost technologies for recognizing bio-markers. You have a straightforward task ahead of you, and you have enough time to do a great job on both the boards and the booklet. Don't worry about going too deeply into the design ideation process. I think your topic is strong enough to really support a very high level of development for the actual product you are proposing, so you should really start sketching and designing up a storm. build models too.
