We are their
engineering team.

Innovative Dispensing II needed a connected medical device. They didn't have an engineering department. They had us.

Five LiviPod dispenser pods, lids open, filled with medication, status rings lit at the base.

LiviPod — a smart automatic pill dispenser. Industrial design, engineering, manufacturing sourcing, mobile app and cloud, built end to end for Innovative Dispensing II, LLC.

The pattern

Get the right medication to the right person, without error, through a machine.

Two hardware companies. Two scales. Neither had an engineering department.

Kitchen scale

One person. One counter. Twenty-four doses a day.

Pharmacy scale

Thousands of doses an hour, verified, on a production floor.

One client is luck. Two is a practice.

  • Scope we ownedIndustrial design → engineering → manufacturing sourcing → mobile app → cloud functions
  • CloudHIPAA-compliant, encrypted
  • ConnectivityBluetooth LE — works with no internet. Wi-Fi for remote caregiver dispensing and monitoring.
  • CapacityUp to 150 pills per pod, up to 24 doses a day
  • Track recordIts predecessor, Livi, safely dispensed millions of doses
A hand holding a phone running the LiviPod app: the day's doses listed as cards — multi-vitamin, vitamin C and arnica gel — each marked Due, with Skip and Take actions.
FIG. 02

The app we built for it. The pods report over Bluetooth LE with no internet; caregivers dispense and monitor remotely over Wi-Fi.

Proof 02 — Pharmacy automation

The same problem, on a production floor.

We build the machine control software and the cloud analytics platform for a national pharmacy automation manufacturer.

  • Machine controlBlister-card packaging with built-in verification, pouch packaging, vial filling, tablet sorting, remote pouch verification
  • Cloud platformLive visibility into production and quality data, custom reporting, dashboarding, order routing
  • Who runs itLong-term care, retail and hospital pharmacies

Value

A small senior team. No handoffs, no account managers, no bench to ramp up.Your budget goes to the work.

How we work

LiviPod proves we can build the hard thing. AI is how we build it now.

Claude and BMAD, to generate ideas and iterate faster with a smaller senior team.

  • LiviPod, at the startNo AI. Industrial design, firmware, app and cloud, built the ordinary way.
  • Most of the buildNo AI. The device you can buy today was engineered without it.
  • Last six monthsHeavy AI use. Same codebase, same team, same product — built the other way.

Same team, same people. We ship faster now.We built the same product both ways. Almost nobody selling AI-accelerated development has a baseline to compare against — we do, on the same codebase, with the same engineers.

Capabilities

Twenty years of the unglamorous parts.

Medication automation is what we do most. This is the range underneath it.

  • EmbeddedARM Cortex M4, ESP32, PLCs, machine control, firmware
  • ConnectivityBluetooth LE (BLE), MQTT, Wi-Fi
  • Asset trackingRFID active and passive, fixed readers, GPS vehicle tracking
  • AR/VRUnity, Microsoft HoloLens, HTC Vive Pro Eye, maritime vessel operations
  • CloudAzure — IoT Hub, Functions, SignalR, SQL, Maps. Google Cloud.
  • LanguagesC/C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, Dart, Objective-C, Swift, Kotlin
  • Apps & webFlutter, React, Node
