This is not mine, but person who created this helped out me greatly. I thought i can share his story here and who knows, may be for someone it will be useful or interesting.
Actually he is owner of a local tea shop, this idea came to him since his mother is old and has to drink a lot of medicine each day. With her fingers it's difficult to press out pills and capsules. Also there are many people like his mother in Japan. First he tried to make something from wood, after many tries and drawings he got what he wanted. After this he wanted to make it from plastic. I didn't even realize how expensive it is, to prepare custom pressing forms and how much need to invest, to get ready product. He still did it. But letters of thanks he is receiving from people who started to use this are well worth those risks he took.
