The PillDrill is a new gadget that’s coming to market intended to help people take their medications on the prescribed schedule. It includes the PillDrill Hub, two weeks of pill strips, a dozen scanning tags, a matching app, and of course the “Mood Cube” for recording how you feel. You can either program a pill schedule using the app or online via a browser, but there’s also a nifty feature that automatically recognizes your schedule. Simply stick the tags onto the bottles with your meds and swipe them near the Hub every time you ingest those medications. After a while the PillDrill memorizes your pattern and begins issuing reminders if you fail to take the ***** at the right time.

You can either use your own bottles or use the supplied pill strips, depending on what you prefer. The strips have little containers inside which the ***** are placed and also come with integrated proximity tags that you swipe every time you access the pills.

To help keep family members updated on your overall well-being, simply swipe the Mood Cube across the PillDrill Hub with the emoticon that matches how you feel. The system shares this and any ***** **t taken on schedule with those you allow access to the data via*the PillDrill app.

Here’s a promo video introducing the PillDrill:
