Abstract Purpose How can we help people more easily take the correct pill, at the correct time? The purpose of our pill dispenser is to help people to take their pills efficiently and with ease. This pill dispenser would help people who have a hard time opening and closing their pill bottles. Opening pill bottles can be hard, especially if you're sick, or not strong enough. The pill dispenser is also to help people who take two few or too many pills, and people who forget to take pills. When your caregiver is there, they can pour the pills into the pill dispenser ahead of time, and this ensures that the person using the pills won't have to open and close the pill bottles. When it is time for the person to take their pills, the pills will drop from the Despenser. This can help people who have dementia take the right number of pills to insure they take what they were prescribed. It can especially help the elderly.
