'Alexa, it's time for my pills!' Pillo is your private nurse and PA
Pillo is an all-in-one pill dispenser, personal digital assistant, and communication device. It is a mix between an automated pill dispenser, that can prepare the correct dose of multiple drugs on a personalised schedule, an Amazon Alexa-like voice-based assistant, and a screen that lets one see one’s health schedule, make video calls, and receive personalised information.
The device comes with an accompanying smartphone app that lets you or your healthcare provider program your pill schedule, receive reminders of when the drugs need to be taken, and to communicate with your care team. Care providers can use the app to check on their patients’ drug compliance, to provide guidance, and to monitor their patients in other ways.
It has a 7″ touchscreen, powerful speakers, facial recognition, Bluetooth connectivity, battery backup, and a locking mechanism that prevents unauthorised users from accessing the drugs stored inside.
In addition to receiving their pills, getting alerts, and other health related functions, users can ask the device to play music, get the news, set alarms, and ask all kinds of questions that anyone with an Amazon Alexa or Google Home is familiar with.
The companion robot market will be an estimated $34.1 billion by 2022 according to a 2017 research report by P&S Market Research. The same report noted that global aging population has driven personal robots markets in developed regions.
