Introduction

The MedFolio Electronic Pillbox was designed by a pharmacist who has spent countless hours in “brown bag” medication sessions with patients of all ages.  Therefore, the features of the MedFolio Pillbox finally address the needs of patients, caregivers, and their healthcare providers.  The unique physical features of the MedFolio Pillbox were designed to keep medication identification and organization simple.  The electronic pillbox can be easily transported to every medical-related appointment or the individual pill storage boxes can be detached from the device for those individuals on the go.  The unique built-in pill identification system is a portfolio of every medication stored in the pillbox, thereby giving the patient/caregiver the confidence to engage in medication management discussions with their healthcare providers.  In order to help patients in remembering to take the “right dose at the right time”, advanced medication reminder systems have been incorporated into the electronic device. The MedFolio Pillbox connects to a personal computer by USB and installed software allows the patient/caregiver to easily customize the device to their specific medication regimens and dosing times.  The medication information stored into the memory of the pillbox will initiate audio alert and visual lighting reminders from the device.  Additionally, the software program will communicate with a secure website to offer the option of receiving electronic messaging reminders (e-mail and text message) for each scheduled medication dosing time.
