Poka yoke, definitely. Kudos to the engineer for coming up with a foolproof way to keep those pesky caddies in place. I bet the patients are thrilled they won't have to worry about missing meds anymore.

Hmm, I'd say this is a Kaizen approach. Small, incremental improvement to the process. Though I'm still trying to figure out how a gravity-activated arm works. Magic, perhaps?
