Abstract
A pill dispensing reminder for assisting a patient to remember to take one or more pills at a preferred time. A microprocessor is held in a case and the microprocessor includes a 24 hour clock and outputs information to both a warning indicator and a data display window at programmed times. The microprocessor is connected to a data link interface which is capable of receiving programming information. A programming information sending unit exists separately from the case and is located at a pharmacy, doctor's office, health food store, or with the user. It includes a data link interface which mates with the data link interface held by the case. The case may include one or more pill compartments. A warning signal transmission unit may also be provided separately from the case and may transmit a warning signal generated from the case to a mobile or stationary receiver via wireless or wired output.
