During the 42^nd  Seminar of Patent Attorneys of Universities, held on September 18^th  at the Echo Hotel in Cedzyna near Kielce, the ceremonial summary of the 13th edition of the National "Student-Inventor" Competition took place. Students of the Silesian University of Technology - Nikodem Nokielski and Szymon Rychter conducting research under the supervision of Dr Eng.

The developed "Medicine Dispenser" can be used in places where a large group of people are dosed with the same type of medicine. These are hospitals, rehabilitation centres and nursing homes. After applying the card, the dispenser prepares appropriate medications for patients, entered in a specially developed database. The patient is assigned an ID that enables this activity. The device is designed to speed up the work of people and reduce the risk of making a mistake when disposing of drugs.

Work on the device is still in progress and is carried out at the Centre for Incubation and Technology Transfer of the Silesian University of Technology. The creators assume the performance of activities to improve the prototype, e.g., by adding further functionalities and optimizing some parts of the device in mechanical terms. It is assumed that the next version of the device  can also be used by private individuals.
