Conventional medication organizers are quite commonplace but still require a patient to remember to take their dose(s) each day, which is something the 'DEFI' smart pillbox is designed to help completely change. The pillbox has a compact design that is outfitted with either four or eight slots and can be set to automatically send a notification to the user's smartphone when it's time to take a dose. The unit itself can also send out a sound and will blink an LED to let the user know when to take a dose to eliminate the need to keep their smartphone constantly on hand.
The 'DEFI' smart pillbox is capable of offering up to 30 days of use on a single charge to help reduce the need to charge it on a continuous basis.
