New Gadget Calls for Help if Medications are not Taken on Time

A new device can help you take your medications on time and call for assistance if you don't. The product, featured on CNN and National Public Radio, dispenses all tablets and capsules and will call a caregiver if the medications are not taken on time.

The dispenser is the size of a large coffee maker and has 60 cups for medications. (Each medication cup has a capacity equal to 50 aspirins.) It also has a loud voice alarm, reminder text, and flashing lights to re- mind users that it is time to take their medications. The gadget can dispense up to six times per day and is loaded once a month. Manufactured by IMD (Interactive Medical Developments LC), the dispenser can be purchased from http:// www.epill.com online or by calling 1-800-549-0095 or 1-781-239-8255.
