'Pilleve' is a smart pill bottle and dispenser that was designed by Vuk Dragovic to help those who've been prescribed potentially addictive opioids to limit their use and provide more accountability.
The bottle comes with a connected app, which monitors intake in real-time, and can even alert family members or local authorities so that the appropriate action can be taken if it senses that a higher dose is consumed. In addition to preventing patients from taking more medication than they need and possibly developing a severe dependence on the substance, the smart bottle also prevents any other household members from accessing the pills.
With a sleek and modern design, Pilleve acts as a design-forward medication solution that is seamlessly integrated into any space.
