The portable vitamin and pill dispenser is a device sensored to recognize certain types of medications or vitamins. The portable dispenser can tell you which pill you are taking by either looking at the display or by pressing the talking dispenser button so that the dispenser will inform you with regards to the pill you are taking.

A question arises, in that one may ask why the necessity for such a device? The answer is that many pill and vitamins look alike. Because of this they can easily be mistaken and taken during the wrong time of day or with foods they should not be combined with. Many vitamin and pill dispensers are equipped with a timer that gives a signal as to when you are to take your pill or supplement but if the wrong pill gets placed into the box you will be at risk of taking your medications incorrectly. The portable pill and vitamin sensor seeks to eliminate this error.

To use the dispenser, you simply place each of your pills in to a separate compartment, which holds a single pill up to 20 pills in the dispenser. There can be dispensers that hold more pills for weekly use. By pressing the button that corresponds with the container  or separate pill compartment, the sensors can identify the name of the pill or vitamin prior to your taking it. Once you are sure you have the correct pill or medication you just open the pill compartment and take your pill or vitamin.

The sensors are able to identify vitamins and pills by imprint number, letter, color, shape to because the dispenser has an internal database that can identify many different types of pills. The pill database can be updated by connecting the usb output of the dispenser to a computer and downloading the updates from the database website.

The portable pill and vitamin sensor can help you avoid mistakes associated with taking many pills. A person using the dispenser can travel freely knowing that if you forget which pill or vitamin is which, the portable pill and vitamin sensor will assist you along the way.
