Ellie, a smart pill dispenser born from a team's personal medication challenges

Ellie is a smart pill organizer developed in the U.S. that simplifies medication management, helping users stay on track with their medication schedules. Since its launch in 2016, Ellie has become a reliable tool for people who need to manage multiple medications daily. The system lets users organize their pills by type, not by time, so refills are simple and flexible. This approach allows users to quickly refill the compartments without worrying about specific times for each pill, ensuring medications are always organized properly. Once set up, Ellie sends friendly reminders with fun trivia and riddles when it's time to take medication. The pill box features a light system that illuminates to guide users to the right pill compartment, ensuring they take the correct pills in the right amounts. The Ellie Pill Box is regulated by the FDA as a medical device under the product code "NXQ" (medication reminder devices)

Ellie’s "smart alarms" adjust to the user’s schedule, even if they take their medication at different times. If the user misses a dose, Ellie sends a second reminder and alerts them on their phone. The EllieGrid app tracks if the user is taking their medication on time and creates reports for caregivers, letting them know if any doses are missed.

Ellie can store various pill sizes and hold enough medication for up to 30 days, making it flexible for different needs.
