Really smart pills ?

Now this might not be Your top notch brainsurgery device but as a memory aid it could show to be very usefull in enforcing a better patient compliance.Seen on Medgadget. Glowcaps are a simple solution to an old problem of daily medication compliance by patients of any age or size. Designed to remind people to take their daily meds, the standard pharmacy bottle sized caps keep track of when they're opened and remind patients with a blinking light to take the pills inside.
