Doctor develops SMS-enabled pill bottle

simpill

A South African doctor has developed the SIMpill, an SMS-enabled pill dispenser, that can remind patients to take their meds and warn them if they're about to take an extra dose. While it sounds like a clever idea, we wouldn't want to depend on anything as balky as our cellphone to remind us to take medication. We'll stick to something reliable, like having reminders relayed to our SPOT watch over MSN Direct.
