The SIMpill bottle uses SMS (short text message) to remind you to take your meds. The patented bottle contains a unique identification number and an electronic chip that sends an SMS to a secure central server when the cap is removed. If the SMS doesn’t arrive within a specified time interval, the server sends a message to the patient’s cell phone. The prescribed pill regime is programmed into the bottle by the pharmacist who fills the prescription. The bottle is aimed at patients who are on long-term medications and for whom missing even a single dose could be life-threatening. The technology was developed by a doctor in Johannesburg, South Africa and the company marketing
it refers to it as “real time compliance management.”
