A pill bottle that weighs itself to know whether grandma took her medicine today. If a dose is missed, the family gets a message before it becomes a problem.
Medication non-adherence is a silent but massive issue. Studies show that 30-50% of patients with chronic conditions fail to follow their prescribed regimens, and nearly half of study participants intentionally skip doses. The impact is staggering: non-adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $100-$300 billion annually in avoidable expenses. Dose was born from the need for a smarter, scalable solution to address this challenge. Dose is a smart medication adherence system that pairs a sensor-enabled pill bottle with an interactive web dashboard. The pill bottle uses a load cell sensor to detect pill movements in real time, producing an accurate, tamper-resistant record of medication usage.
