Pills are characterized by their static design that can be difficult to differentiate between to ensure a person is taking the correct dose, which is something the conceptual 'Pimoji' medications are intended to help with.
The pills are inspired by Emoji characters and are shaped with their function in mind to make it easier for patients to differentiate between them. This includes hearts for heart medication, bones for bone-strengthening medications and so on. This gives the medications a charming design that will be admired by patients of any age to make the process of daily medicating more enjoyable.
The conceptual 'Pimoji' medications are the design work of Jong Hun Choi and the winner of the 2020 A’ Design Award.
