For years, the Pill (Piovtell Advanced medication dispenser) has been a trusted part of our product range, helping individuals take their medication safely, securely and at exactly the right time. With built-in safeguards and smart features like radio message to a receiving device when a dose is missed, it’s been an essential tool for carers and monitoring centres alike. Now, we’re excited to announce the next step in its evolution: the Pill+.
Smarter Alerts, Greater Independence
The Pill+ builds on the solid foundation of the original Pill, adding enhanced features designed to increase independence, improve communication, and support more personalised care. One of the most significant upgrades is the Pill+’s ability to send a radio message not only when medication is missed, but also when it’s due. This opens the door for more proactive support and timely reminders, especially when paired with our Vibe sensory communication aid.
Seamless Integration with the Vibe
The Vibe is an innovative device that helps users receive alerts in the way that suits them best. When connected to the Pill+, the Vibe can notify users exactly when medication is due, using a range of accessible, optional cues:
- A spoken voice message: “It’s time to take your medication.”
- A bright strobe light
- LED icons
- Audible alarms
- Tactile alerts through a vibrating pillow pad
This variety of alerts ensures that users with different sensory needs or preferences can receive the reminder in a way that works for them. And if the medication isn’t taken, the Pill+ can continue sending alerts until it’s confirmed, offering both independence and peace of mind.
Safe, Simple, and Familiar
While the Pill+ brings new capabilities, it still retains the trusted features of the original device. When it’s time for a dose, the dispenser rotates to release the correct medication, which can then be easily tipped out for convenient access. The device remains lockable, with a self-locking shutter to ensure that medication is only available at the prescribed times, reducing the risk of missed or double doses. For users with simpler needs, the original Pill configuration is still fully supported.
The Pill+ and Vibe: Supporting Individual Needs
Together, the Pill+ and Vibe offer a flexible, user-centred approach to medication management, whether at home, in supported living environments or as part of a wider care package.
