Red Dot Design

Venkat Rao completed his UG Diploma in 2010 in Industrial Design from DJAD. His entry “Half Dose” was selected for the award in August 2012. His solution aims at offering a very easy method to break tablets into two.

Often splitting a tablet can get difficult and inaccurate for the elderly, visually impaired and single-handed people. Contamination due to touch is a high risk with the current design. Half dose offers a smart design solution to this problem. The Unique shape of the tablet lets the user split it using a single finger without removing it from the pack into two equal halves.
