An birth control pill case-alarm combo

May 17, 2006

Gizmodo:

Here’s a great idea for a birth control pill package, where a 24-hour alarm sounds at the time you designate, and when you twist open the case, it stops the alarm. Take a pill, twist the case closed and that alarm is reset for the next day. Careful, though””might be a bit embarassing if that alarm goes off during Mass.

Seems like a cool idea for any drug taken on a regular basis. People forget. May be especially useful for older people.

Ooh I need that for regular meds! I have bought a pill case with an alarm, but I even found that with that I could stop the alarm and still forget the meds. I used to keep it in my pocket, but if I was doing clinicals, I would just stop the alarm and keep going about my day. I’d usually remember I hadn’t taken them by the time the next dose came around! Terrible….

I was cracking up about the alarm going off during mass! I can see it now… :)
