SMRxT has created smart pill bottles that tackle the issue of missing doses or taking the wrong dose all together. A great way to introduce technology into the medical field, it ensures people are treated properly in a practical way. It sends alerts to the patient's smartphone to put the onus on them to keep up their prescriptions. \
The smart pill bottles also relays important information to medical companies. This will help them to cut down unnecessary costs while also potentially saving more lives in the process. A win-win situation for just about everyone involved, the smart pill bottles were created in collaboration with Verizon.
Founded by Victor Chu and Stephan Valter, SMRxT is currently setting up shop in Orlando, Florida, after receiving sufficient monetary incentive from the American city council.
