Problem
Medication non-adherence poses a significant challenge, leading to adverse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Patients may forget to take their medication, take incorrect dosages, or intentionally misuse prescription drugs, especially controlled substances. Traditional pill bottles offer no safeguards against these issues.
Solution
SecretBox provides a smart pill bottle and AI-powered compliance platform designed to ensure medication adherence and prevent misuse. The system uses a patented pill-dispensing device that releases the precise prescribed dose at the correct time, controlled via a mobile app. AI-driven video verification confirms patient identity and monitors adherence, while tamper detection mechanisms enhance security. The platform integrates with pharmacies and healthcare systems, providing real-time compliance data to providers and caregivers.
