I'm always forgetting to take my meds at work because my mornings are hectic. I usually notice around 10am, when things calm down and the adrenaline drop reminds me I skipped them. If I take the dose then. It doesn't kick in until 45 minutes after. Those 45 minutes can send me down a spiral that wrecks my whole day.
I've designed a pill box with an embedded NFC tag. If that tag hasn't been scanned by my phone before 9AM HA pushes me a reminder. It also tracks how many pills i have left, so when the count drops below a certain treshold (3 work-weeks for me) i get a nudge to book a GP appointment.
Bonus 1, it keeps track when i've been at the GP and when i've been at the pharmacist, if those two trigger within 3 days of eachother it's probably because i went to take a new load of meds and it tops it up the exact amount that i always get on my prescription.
Bonus 2, the original pill box it comes in fits perfictly inside the top opening. No spills when transfering the Pills!
Bonus 3, the NFC chip get's printed inside the case, won't ever lose that thing!
Bonus 4, it has a place for a sticker on top so if I misplace it people know who to look for!
HA has changed my life in many ways, this is just one of them and I love it.
