For the last few years there have been innovations in ways to remind people to take their prescription medicine. GlowCaps pill bottles seem like the most intelligent creation so far.

If you forget to take your medicine, the GlowCaps pill bottle has a light that automatically starts blinking if you are a few minutes overdue for your dose. The second reminder is a little song played through the cap and the final reminder is a phone call or text message via [AT&T](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-thieves-2), as it is linked up through their network.

 The GlowCaps pill bottles, designed by [Vitality Inc.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moira-club), may just help save thousands of lives once it is released.
