A medication dispenser removes the burden of remembering which tablets to take when. It is very helpful for older people, those with memory and/or mental health problems who are prone to poor medication adherence, partly due to the amount of tablets they take. The Pill Dispenser reminds the user by means of an alarm and a flashing light when to take their medication. It makes the correct dose available at the correct time of day or night, whilst keeping all other pills secure. If the user fails to access the medication, an alert is sent to the alarm receiving centre via the social alarm unit for help. Reminders and notifications Programmable Easy to use
