Medication reminders of the future

2007-06-08 15:26:02

Tech is offering a hand to people who need a reminder to take their pills.


The MD.2 from e-Pill is a stationary device that acts as a reminder, organizer and dispenser of pills. (Diet Coke can not included.) The device also monitors whether users are adhering to their medication schedule. Notifications are either immediately transmitted to a home health care monitoring service via computer, or to designated caregivers by phone after 90 minutes have lapsed without the user taking the medication.
