When fifteen-year-old Itai Shapiro visited his grandfather last winter, he noticed something worrying. Grandpa Eli, who is eighty-two, often forgot to take his medicine. Sometimes he took it twice; other times he did not take it at all.
Itai decided to find a solution. He was already a member of his school's robotics club, so he knew a little about programming. For three months, he spent every free afternoon in the club's workshop. His first two models did not work: one was too big for Grandpa's kitchen table, and the other was too complicated to use.
The third model was a success. It is a small box with seven doors, one for each day of the week. Every morning at eight o'clock, the right door opens, a light turns on and a friendly voice says, “Good morning, Eli! Time for your medicine.” If Grandpa does not take his pills within thirty minutes, the box sends a message to the phone of Itai's father.
Since then, Grandpa Eli has not missed a single day. “Itai's box is better than any doctor,” he likes to say.
Last month, Itai won first prize in a national science competition. Now a company wants to produce his invention, so other families can use it too. But Itai says the best prize was something else: “Seeing Grandpa healthy and independent again.”
