"The circle, in my case, came from the idea of something the person could hold, like a stress ball, in their hands," says designer Lucas Neumann de Antonio. "Something with a nice touch, that could be soothing, zen-like."

Bossy also allows users to schedule recurring tasks like taking pills or paying bills.

Its touch screen displays up to three tasks, pulled from task management software like Omnifocus, Wunderlist, and Asana as well as calendars, email, and custom software focused on medication adherence.

"The original idea was to have the tasks accumulating as if marbles inside a box, but just three felt like a good number to keep the user focused," says de Antonio. "Too many and the text becomes illegible, plus overwhelms the user with everything he hasn't done."

De Antonio is starting to work towards an MVP using Arduino components and he is keenly aware that he'll need to assemble a crack team of engineers and manufacturing experts before he could kickstart the project.
