Hero - We've simplified medication management

Congrats @kalvepuri & team - good products take time!

Some medicines should be maintained at room temperature and should be air-tight .How do you handle this inside the hero dispenser ?

I commend your attacking a worthwhile problem, drug adherence. I do believe that the adherence solution of the future that no-one is currently building or researching is a cheap pharmacokinetic verification tool that would allow doctors to reward adherence. We have no way today to detect if someone has taken their meds. That's the next big breakthrough. Maybe something exists on the frontier of electroplethysmography. There's quite a few companies who track inventory counts on drug prescription refills as a proxy for knowing if a patient has taken their meds. This is only half the battle. From a gerontology perspective, there's a large number of drugs that require different temperature settings. I'm curious about the design process for this device and how you approached the average distribution of drugs that a patient is taking. @kalvepuri , which patient population are you targeting?

Who is your target customer for this product!!

@kalvepuri I love this concept - the design is beautiful and well designed. Curious - is there a weight-sensor underneath the pill cup that's used to verify the pills have in fact been taken? Or, is it a proximity sensor - once the cup is removed from the base, it registers as taken?

Like the concept very much. Adherence being a very heavy issue now, and in the years to come. Dispenser filling and Hero programmation could be an impossible challenge for elderly, however. Would suggest to add remote-programmation by pharmacy over wi-fi, and dispenser tray preparation at pharmacy, sealed at pharmacy, ready to be placed in the device, to avoid - confusion between pills (when you're 90, green or blue may be the same) - confusion / misconfiguration of dispenser through app screen or device rotary wheel / screen.

What a great idea and helpful to many with chronic illnesses. Well done!

Gorgeous design and fits a true human need.

We’ve spent the past year passionately improving, refining and quality-testing HERO, and are proud to report that we are planning to ship in spring of 2018!
