Problem
Many individuals struggle with medication adherence, leading to missed doses and potential health complications. Traditional pill organizers lack active reminders and tracking capabilities, making it difficult to monitor adherence and ensure timely medication intake. This is especially problematic for individuals managing multiple medications or those with cognitive impairments.
Solution
EllieGrid offers a smart pillbox designed to improve medication adherence through automated reminders and real-time tracking. The pillbox organizes medications by type and connects to a mobile app via Bluetooth, allowing users to program alarms and receive notifications when it's time to take their pills. Built-in sensors track when medications are taken, generating adherence reports that can be used by individuals or shared with caregivers. The system also supports smart alarms that adjust to individual schedules based on actual pill-taking behavior.
Target Audience
