We present results of our work on creating a new type of a device, purpose of which is to enhance drug adherence, and of research on data obtained by analysis of created device. Review of already existing examples was made, which allowed us to establish basic assumptions for creating the device. The best concept was modeled as a 3D CAD model, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed in order to check if the device is safe to use in terms of its ability of withstanding the weight of drugs put inside of the device as well as possible additional items which could be put in drugs-housing compartments, and finally a physical example of the device was manufactured.
