Even the most disciplined among us sometime forget to take our medicine on schedule, and with a rapidly aging population it's become a big health problem. Vitality GlowCaps ($99) use technology to not only remind patients that it's time to take their meds, but also inform family members, caregivers, doctors and pharmacists that a prescription regimen is being followed and even when it's time for a refill.It works by using a wireless chip embedded in the GlowCaps, which fit standard prescription bottles. When it's medicine time, GlowCaps flash and emit a ringtone as a reminder. GlowCaps also come with a nightlight-like wireless reminder that plugs into an outlet and glows orange along with the bottle tops.
