Taking medication requires consumers to constantly keep track of the time and the pills they need to take, so the 'PillClok' smart pill box works to keep everything organized to ensure there are never any missed doses.
The unit consists of the main box itself that can be integrated with up to four pills per day with each one set with a different schedule. This allows patients to customize their treatment schedule to ensure it's as organized as possible to prevent them from potentially missing a dose at some point during the day.
The conceptual 'PillClok' smart pill box is the design work of Fabián Vadillo and has also been created in a portable design with a physical timer to let patients take their medications with them when leaving the house.
