Abstract
This device holds seven days’ worth of pills, sorted into breakfast, lunch, supper, and bedtime doses. At the designated breakfast time, all the pills for that day fall into four cups. At each pill time, an alarm sounds and an LED lights up to inform the user which dose to take. The alarm is silenced when the user picks up the appropriate cup of medication.
