"Smart Lid"
Completed January 20, 2026

Hatch Studios partnered with innovator Danielle Miller to visualize a significant leap forward in pharmaceutical adherence: the Smart Lid. This high-tech bottle cap revolutionizes medicine management by utilizing distinct visual and audio cues to alert patients exactly when a dose is due. Beyond simple notifications, the device prioritizes safety with an intelligent locking mechanism to prevent premature dispensing.

To illustrate this ecosystem which seamlessly integrates with a mobile app via Bluetooth for multi-prescription management, Hatch Studios utilized photoreal 3D animation. This medium provided the perfect canvas to accurately showcase the device’s intricate engineering and sleek functionality.

This project was created with 3ds Max, Redshift and After Effects.
