For the past three years, we’ve written about GlowCaps, the internet connected smart pill bottle toppers that light up, make noise, and text/call you when it’s time to take your medicine.
Vitality’s AT&T-connected GlowCaps fit on standard prescription bottles and use light then sound reminders, which can be followed by a phone call or text message so people don’t miss a dose. Each time the pill bottle is opened adherence data is recorded and securely relayed to Vitality over the AT&T wireless network. This daily adherence information is used to compile periodic progress reports that are sent to patients, caregivers and doctors, and family members.
Cambridge, MA-based Vitality and AT&T announced today that GlowCaps will finally be available on Amazon for $10 per cap and $15 a month for the connectivity service plan, which is powered by AT&T’s network.
Right now, Vitality is offering a special promotion on their website where you can get a free GlowCap by signing up to be notified when they’ll be available at your local pharmacy. If you happen to get your hands on one and love it, chime in below with your “glowing” review!
