Vitality Glowcaps, the pills you will call the phone when you forget to take them

The Mobile World Congress is not only a fair phones and tablets. The plaza between the halls one, three and four contained a home project connected via 3G. Although the home had little of, there we find a curious application called Vitality Glowcaps. As you see in the picture, the Vitality Glowcaps are drug pill.

What makes them unique is the top, a rather complex device that is capable of quite a few functions. For starters, the top of these pillboxes futuristic features an LED and sounds that alert the patient that has to take medication. In case this is not effective, the jackpot of Vitality Glowcaps is also capable of sending an SMS or email to a designated phone number, either from the patient or guardian, to warn that the drug has not been taken.

The boat detects how many times it is open, keeps track of these jacks and sends periodic reports to the doctor or patient's guardian so he can prescribe further treatment or testing irregularities. Connectivity to the 3G network can be done through automated WIRELESS module just plug into an outlet to work.

The pill can be programmed remotely to administer the drugs as the most appropriate treatment. Obviously, Vitality Glowcaps does not prevent a stubborn patient open the pot and instead of taking the pill, the pull, but it is an interesting idea for people with memory problems or ailments to be treated for long periods.

For now, the idea has already been awarded at the Mobile World Congress and is being marketed by AT & T. The operator will sell the boats on Amazon at a price close to $ 10 each. It also ensures your slice with a data rate to be around $ 15 a month. Currently there are no news on whether the invention will come to this land.
