Designer Steven Grech has come up with a new pill dispenser that aims to improve patient compliance as it features an alert system via SMS to remind the user to pop

designated pills are pre-programmed times of the day. The device will also record when you took your medication, showing the pharmacist the correct intervals. Unfortunately, it isn't sentient enough to know that the naughty patient has flushed those pills down the toilet instead of taking them with a glass of water, but we should see this device do well among the elderly should it ever be released.

Genius! If you have a clever idea too and you'd like me to blog about please e-mail it to me. And as always, if you're a budding inventor yourself and need more info on prototypes or how to sell your ideas click here!
