This device features a UV blocking lid to protect medications and offers both manual operation and smart app connectivity for enhanced control.
Function Description:
The primary function of the MOBI pill dispenser is to organize, dispense, and alert users about their medication and vitamin schedules. It utilizes a rotating internal pill container with 28 daily medication dosage slots, which can be customized using nine different daily dosage rings. These rings allow for flexible scheduling, accommodating medication frequencies from once a day for 28 days to nine times a day for 3 days. The device features audible and visual alarms to remind users when it's time to take their medication. A locking cover prevents accidental spills and unauthorized access, which is particularly useful for patients who may be confused or prone to incorrect medication intake.

These rings are placed in the center of the internal pill container, with alternating grey and white spaces to distinguish between days.
