More than 200,000 people die every year in Europe due to medicine misuse according to UN data, which is something the 'YOS Bottle' aims to help change. The water bottle is incorporated with space for holding H2O or choice of beverage, but is also equipped with a pill organizer build right into the side of the unit. This will enable those who take daily medications with a way to keep their pills organized and know for sure whether or not they've taken them on that day.
Designed and made in the Netherlands, the 'YOS Bottle' keeps the pill organizer in place thanks to strategically placed magnets and features seven compartments to allow for an entire week's worth of medication to be stored.
