Patent attributes
This present invention is for new user-friendly electronic pill reminder devices that convert regular conventional pill bottles to automatic reminder pill bottles. The reminder device is compatible and can be retrofitted inside a regular conventional pill bottle cap. This reminder device is installed inside the conventional pill bottle between the bottle cap and the bottle container. When the user closes the pill bottle cap on the bottle container, the electronic timer, with factory predetermined time interval, is automatically activated. That activated timer will generate alert signals not only remind user last pill has taken but also to remind the user to take his/hers next dose at time-out. The reminder device and alert signals are automatically deactivated and reset when the user opens the pill bottle cap (to take contents from the bottle container). This present reminder device works with both conventional safety (child-resistant) and non-safety pill bottle caps.
