Smart Pill Bottle Provides Easy Way to Monitor Daily Medicine Intake From: Medical Design Technology - 11/05/2015 AdhereTech has launched a second-generation version of its smart wireless pill bottle. This innovative medical device helps patients with high-risk diseases properly adhere to their medications. AdhereTech's bottle automatically tracks and sends patients’ adherence patterns in real time. The system then analyzes the data and issues customizable alerts, such as on-bottle lights and chimes, automated phone calls, and text messages. Each bottle's built-in cellular chip continuously records and transmits data, which is then stored on a secure real-time dashboard that can be analyzed by AdhereTech’s automated system and medical professionals. The ability to actively track the use of medication prevents patients from forgetting or skipping doses, ensuring intake is done correctly. Due to the strength of the drugs and the importance placed on them being consumed properly, alerts can be set up to notify the patient, caregiver or another specified party when it’s time to take the medication. The bottle can light up, beep and send automated phone calls and text messages. It’s simple for patients of any age and even for the less tech-savvy.
