GlowCap medication reminder

Written on April 1, 2009 – 7:40 am | by Maria Mihale |

I’ve been so very sick in the past couple of weeks and I must say that I’ve been living a nightmare since that day I decided to have a walk in the park and I caught the most horrible cold ever. Looking back at that beautiful day, I just can’t understand how in earth I managed to catch that cold. I just can’t, as hard as I try.



Because since then, I stay in bed and do nothing but to rest. My bones became lazy, my muscles also, my brain is in the stand-by mode. I’m a wreck. Thank God I have so many people in my life, interested in making me feel a whole lot better. And I don’t really know why, but they all seem to be crazy about medicaments. Pills. Drugs. You know.



They say I can never be too medicated with a cold like mine. I’m sick and tired of being advised to take the pills by each and every person that has the chance to tell me a couple of things. I would rather have the GlowCap telling me what I should do. Because this way I won’t have to ruin the relationships I have with the people I love so much.

Designed by Vitality, the GlowCap is nothing but a medication reminder that works with sound and light in order to make you pay attention to the fact that it’s time for your pills. The cap is suitable to any standard 20-gram pill vial and comes with an integrated 900 MHz radio (just like a cordless phone). The radio is in fact your connection to the net, via its own network, which gives you the chance to go to a certain Web page where you tell the cap how often you need to take your medication.

And when the time comes, you’ll see the cap blinking, from slow to rapid, then ringing just like a cell phone, from soft to louder. More than that, the cap can even give you a call on the phone. What do you say about that? It’s like your mother has been replaced by a small cap, in a hunt that has you as a victim.

You can buy the GlowCap medication reminder from Amazon for $30, but Vitality hopes that its product will be commercialized by big pharmacies in the future.
