Hug provides a personal medication management system that uses a smart sticker and mobile app to track and remind users of their doses. By scanning a barcode or QR code, users attach the sticker to medication bottles, which logs each intake and sends real‑time alerts—green for on‑track, red for missed doses—while caregivers can monitor adherence remotely.

Problem
Many older adults and patients struggle to remember to take their medications correctly, leading to missed doses, accidental double‑dosing, and reduced treatment effectiveness. Caregivers and clinicians often lack real‑time visibility into adherence, requiring frequent manual check‑ins.
Solution
Hug offers an AIoT‑enabled personal medication management system that combines a smart sticker with a mobile app. Users attach the sticker to a medication bottle by scanning a barcode or QR code, enabling the sticker to record each intake and update the app instantly. Visual cues (green for on‑track, red for missed) and audible alerts on the bottle remind users to take doses on time. The app provides one‑tap confirmation, generates weekly and monthly adherence reports, and allows caregivers or clinicians to monitor usage remotely, supporting safer and more consistent medication habits.
Target Audience
Primary users are older adults managing multiple prescriptions and their caregivers or clinicians who need remote adherence monitoring.
