We spoke with Chandler Covert, a P.A. student at Augusta University, who created a pill organizer for people who need to keep their medications on track.

Covert says he came up with the idea after his father had medical issues.

“I’m ecstatic this is so crazy honestly I have had this idea for a long time with my mom as well trying to figure out something for my dad and I don’t know this is just a dream it’s cool,” said Covert.

Another invention discussed included golf carts and vans for certain patients.
