Half of the medicines worldwide are not taken as prescribed by physicians, and this costs the US healthcare system $290B annually. The average Medicare beneficiary (65+ years old) takes between 6 and 8 different pills per day and has no help in organizing or taking them - if they fail to do it, they may end up in the hospital with serious complications (like a stroke), or even die prematurely.We developed a smart pill dispenser - it sits on the countertop of chronic patients' homes and automatically dispenses the right pills, at the right time.
