SIMpill

Project

SIMpill is an SMS-enabled pill bottle which, when opened, delivers a text message to a central server. The SMS contains a unique pill box ID number as well as some information about the battery status of the pill box. Each SMS is time stamped and kept as a record of the patient taking their medication. If the box is opened again before medication is next due, a warning text message is sent to the doctor that possible over-dosing is taking place.
