Override Password

Hey!
So at our meeting on Saturday (the day that it also snowed for the first time this season!), we discussed how our fingerprint security system would be impractical for refilling the device; the same pharmacist would not always be refilling the prescription for the patient. For this reason, we decided to include an override password for our device; this password would only be known by the pharmacy who refills the patient's prescription and would be created by the pharmacy during the first time that the prescription is filled. We decided to include this change in our design to make more practical and realistic for use; we want to design a device that actually can be something real patients can use, not simply an idealistic design that only exists on paper.

As we continue to make final adjustments to our design and tweak the specifications, we are starting to see how little details can make or break a design. We are happy that we are being very realistic about the device (instead of idealistic) because that is the goal of this project; we want to design a device that actually can be manufactured and made to improve the lives of people.
