Purpose & Benefits
Problems Solved
Many people either forget to take their medicine or cannot remember the last time they took it. Unfortunately, if people do not stick to a regimented medication schedule, then the medicine can lose its effectiveness. As a result, some people may use pill organizers that are marked for the specific days of the week, but such holders can be difficult and time consuming to initially set up.
Detailed Description & Features
Medicine Bottle Timer Lid provides a convenient reminder to take medicine at the same time each day. This innovative product may comprise a standard medicine bottle lid with a removed inner liner and hole in the center. A timer and alarm can be installed on the topside of the circular base, sized to fit the inside of the lid. One or more electrical pressure contacts can be installed on the bottom side of the circular base that close from the pressure of locking the cap. Optionally, the liner can be made from a pressure-sensitive material that closes an internal circuit when pressure is applied to the liner. The pressure contacts or the pressure liner can be electrically connected to a timer. The timer assembly on the circular base can be pressed into the inside of the lid, so that a timer display and set button are visible through a hole. Another inner liner can be attached to the inside of the lid, covering the circular disc and pressure points. Optionally, a battery can be recessed in the middle of the circuit board so that the liner can be peeled away, the battery can be replaced, and the liner reattached.
In use, people can take their medicine as directed and replace the lid. When the lid is replaced, the timer can automatically reset. People can also set the alarm for a certain amount of time if desired. If people are unable to recall the last time they took their medicine, they can simply look at the lid, which displays the last time the bottle was opened. The exact specifications may vary upon manufacturing.
