Problem: Medication forgetfulness
Solution 1: Bluetooth pill case
How it works
When it is time to take medicine, an alert is sounded via a speaker and also sent via Bluetooth to the iPhone app and alerts the person to take it. The correct storage section on the case will light up on time. After they take it, they can tick it off to register that is it done and to keep track of what they take and when.
When prescriptions are needed, the system alerts the user and helps them to contact the nearest doctor or pharmacy to renew it and get their medication in time.
There are sensors on the bottom of the pill case which detect whether a tablet has been taken (senses for weight)
Powered by batteries
