Pill'Up: so as not to forget taking your medication

February 26, 2020

For all those who must not forget their medication, what could be better than an assistant who reminds you of the time of taking it and who tells you what is the box of the corresponding medication?

The society Electronic Alliance has just created a device to facilitate patient compliance with medication. These are two communicating components, a smart button to attach to the drug packaging and an application to install on your smartphone.

The Pill’Up button

It is a device to be attached to all drug packaging (bottle, blister, box, etc.), using a paper clip or elastic band.

When taking the medication, the Pill’Up button lights up to help the patient identify the medication to be taken.

Pressing the button validates taking the medication by recording the time.

The Pill’Up app

It allows you to be notified when the medication is taken, to identify the correct medication thanks to the light signal on the Pill’Up button. Detailed monitoring of medication intake is also available.

She will also be able to send a message to one or more people to report that the patient has made a good decision or has forgotten it.

What more does Pill’Up provide?

The innovation of Pill’Up is not only in its technological innovation but also in its ease of use. Pill’Up is much more than a simple application that increases compliance: concerning the specific audience of the elderly, still not used to using smartphones, it is possible to use only the button.

The Pill’Up device meets a double need: to facilitate compliance, and to offer a robust device that is easy to handle, use and personalize. In addition, Pill’Up helps strengthen the patient’s relationship with their caregiver (pharmacist or doctor).
