Easy-to-Use Smart Pillbox
The Prompter™ Connected Pillbox prompts your Loved One to take their pills by lighting up (small LED lights on the device) and also sending a reminder via SMS, Push Notification, or Email when it is time to take their medication.
The Prompter™ has built in motion sensors that can detect when it is picked up and if a pill door is opened. This means if the Prompter™ detects no motion and no pill door open, it records that as a possible missed dose* and alerts the caregiver so they can follow up with the Loved One.
Why Medication Adherence Is Important
“Drugs don’t work if people don’t take them.”1
Following a prescribed medication plan, or medication adherence, has been directly attributed to many important health benefits. The following results of non-adherence are largely preventable.
- Nearly 70% of all medication-related hospital admissions are due to medication non-adherence alone2
- Non-adherence causes 30-50% of chronic disease treatment failures3
- Non-adherence causes 125,000 deaths per year in this country3
- Prompter is designed to help improve Medication Schedule Adherence, an important part of any prescribed medication plan

Prompter™. Reminds them. Alerts you.
Likely Missed Dose Alerts* for Family Caregivers
Using the free Connected Caregiver app, you (the Caregiver) can set up medication times and alerts so that if the Prompter™ is not picked up and a pill door not opened, you can be notified about a likely missed dose — prompting you to follow up with your Loved One. All Prompter™ subscriptions come with the full suite of Care Essentials features (available within the Connected Caregiver app) which help you organize and coordinate your family caregiving.
By pairing the Prompter™ with Care Essentials you can:
- Create personalized medication schedules and automated reminders for your Loved One
- Keep records of prescribing doctor, dosages and even pill images
- Automatically check for potentially dangerous drug interactions
- Leverage all of Care Essentials’ other features like a Dedicated Calendar, Care Circle Management, Manual Health Vital Tracking & more.
*Possible Missed Dose Alert: The Prompter Connected Pillbox is a reminder system; if it detects lack of interaction with the pillbox, it can alert to a potential missed dose. Prior to duplicating a potential missed dosage, confirmation of missed dosage should be confirmed. Prompter does not have locks and should be stored in a safe place.
FAQs
Does the Prompter Pillbox know if medication was taken?
The Prompter™ Connected Pillbox was not designed to know if a medication was taken. While Prompter™ can sense if the device is picked up and moved, and then if a pill door is opened, it’s extremely difficult to know if pills were actually removed. And near impossible to know if your Loved One actually ingested the pills. What the Prompter™ can do, however, is detect (Prompter™ not moved and a pill door not opened is a pretty good indicator of a likely missed dose or likely missed doses) and alert you (the Caregiver) so you can follow up directly with your Loved One.
What is a Smart Pillbox?
By design, all pillboxes hold medications/pills. And they pretty much all indicate the day and time of day to take the medication. A “smart pillbox”, however, does more than store the pills. As we look at it, a “smart pillbox” shouldn’t just sit there passively, but rather use technology to remind the user when to take their pills and, in the case of Prompter™, reach out and alert a Caregiver if a dose is likely missed. The Prompter™ Connected Pillbox is a “smart pillbox” designed to remind your Loved One and to keep you, the Caregiver, informed about potential missed doses.
Typical on-the-go devices include pendents that can be worn around the neck or on a belt, watches or other items that include an emergency help button that communicates with a monitoring center when pressed. Some on-the-go devices include fall detection that automatically alerts the monitoring center should a potential fall be detected.
Does the Prompter know what pill tray is opened?
The Prompter™ only knows that one of its pill tray doors was opened. It does not sense which pill tray door was opened.
Why is it called the Prompter?
We designed the Prompter™ Connected Pillbox to be:
1. A reminder system for the Loved One (prompting them when it’s time to take medications) and;
2. A way for Family Caregivers to be “prompted” to potential missed doses. Given all the reminding and “prompting”, we decided to put it into the name.
