Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to pilot test how acceptable older adults find a commercially available pillbox organizer with embedded sensors and automated reminders to support medication adherence. Individuals who agree to participate in the study will be provided with the pillbox organizer and asked to use the pillbox for 1 month. The pillbox contains 7 compartments with embedded sensors that detects if there is a pill present. Blinking lights and a flashing letter specifying the day of the week, are used to alert users to take their medicines. After taking the first dose, a 24-hour count down timer will begin. If the medication specified for that day is not taken within the target time the device will beep to alert the user. Participants will complete a structured interview at baseline and 1 month follow-up to assess demographic and health related information, medication adherence and how they found using the pillbox organizer. Additionally, if individuals have a family member who supports their medication use, they will be asked to complete an interview at the 1 month follow-up to understand how they found using the pillbox organizer.
