Problem
Patients often miss medication doses because traditional reminders rely on manual app interaction or inconsistent visual cues, leading to poor adherence and suboptimal health outcomes.
Solution
Pillsy offers a medication adherence platform that combines a connected smart pill bottle with an app to automate reminders and dose tracking. The bottle records each opening, marking the dose as taken without requiring the user to open the app. Reminders are delivered via audible alerts from the hardware, push notifications, text messages, or automated calls, and can be disabled for as‑needed products. The system syncs usage data opportunistically to the cloud, enabling real‑time monitoring by caregivers and healthcare providers. Integrated API connections automatically order refills from specialty and mail‑order pharmacies when supplies run low. The platform also supports Bluetooth and cellular health devices for remote collection of vital signs and allows customized educational content and surveys to be delivered through the app.
Target Audience
Primary customers are healthcare systems, pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical researchers that need automated medication adherence monitoring and patient engagement tools.
