Recommendations from Longevity Explorers
This product was included in our explorer community discussions about pill boxes. See the Pill Boxes & Pill Organizers the Longevity Explorers recommend.
Our explorers mostly focused on the fact that this product was rather large. However one lady already had the product (given to her by her daughter) and used it every day and thought it was rather good.
The pluses:
- It has 31 separate "pill boxes", and each one has 4 separate compartments (for each of 4 daily doses).
- It has a stand alone alarm clock reminder system, that is very good and very easy to use, with no finicky little buttons or hard to program controls.
- The lady who uses this product commented that it really helped her avoid making errors with her medication compared to the more conventional pill box she had before.
The minuses
- It is big. And not at all attractive.
- The individual pill compartments are not very easy to open, so if you have arthritis this is not as easy to use as some of the pill boxes that have separate "levers" to open each compartment. To put this in context, the compartments are not much different than those in many of the cheap pill boxes you buy at the pharmacy, which are also often a bit hard to open.

Tech-enhanced Life Resource Database
This is one of hundreds of products and resources in the Tech-enhanced Life database of "useful products and resources".
The theme of this collection of resources is "tools we can use to help improve our quality of life as we grow older".
We have no vested interest in any of these products or services, but we have collected descriptions of them, and organized them according to various themes relating to the challenges of aging — so older adults and their families can find useful products they do not yet know about.
Members of Tech-enhanced Life can search by categories, add reviews of the products, and see links to the manufacturer's websites where they can buy the product or access the resource.
The criteria for adding products and resources to this database is that we think they "look useful, noteworthy, and interesting", and have the potential to improve life for older adults and their families. We have evaluated some of these products, in which case you will see links to a detailed review and or to explorer discussions about the product on this page, or inputs from explorers in the comments.
If the listing does not include reviews or explorer discussions, then we have not evaluated it sufficiently to be able to recommend it or comment on how well it works. If you research this product or resource further, and especially if you try it out, please come back to this page and add your comments.
