Being forgetful in the morning is pretty common, so to make your life a little easier Unika has designed the ‘Pill Reminder.'

Taking vitamins every morning is pretty common; however hectic mornings with kids running around or finishing up last minute assignments can push your everyday routine to the back burner. To help you remember the little things, the ‘Pill Reminder’ combined [pill-taking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modobloom-pill-organizer) with an activity people do every day: brush their teeth. Every time you [remove your toothbrush from the device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clea-toothbrush-sanitizer), your pills pop up from the attached container, reminding you to take them right away; think Jack-in-the-box helping you stay healthy.

An extremely beneficial use of this device is for women to remember to take their [birth control pills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pill-organizers).
