HOW IT WORKS

A lockable lid covers the device to prevent taking incorrect medications or at the wrong time. The dispenser turns along based on a set schedule and moves a tray prefilled with medicine the where it is accessible and which then triggers an audible alarm and flashing lights. Once the device is turned over to dispense the medications the alarm notification is automatically turned off.
