Obviously there will be no penalties for malfunctions. Please read the post in its entirety and read over comments and responses. Your concerns are valid and have been addressed above. Thanks.
This is crazy …my problem is say it’s time for my meds I overslept and than I have to wait until the next 4 hours to open my bottle .nah that’s crazy .also I read in a article that if someone tampers with the bottle it can destroy the meds .I pay out of pocket for my meds .no way …plus if your meds get destroyed by accident by the Dr or pharmacy than guess what u can not get a refill
Nah people need to rethink this idea …

My device differs from the iPill dispenser, which destroys medication if tampering is suspected. In contrast, my device remains accessible in true medical emergencies and won’t penalize someone who, for example, suspects a heart attack, calls an ambulance, and needs to forcibly access an opioid that could potentially save time and prevent muscle injury.
To address your other concern, I propose that access windows not be fixed to specific times of day, but instead be based on intervals between doses. For instance, if I take Adderall twice a day and wake up at 2 AM for work, the first access window would start at midnight (the start of a new day), allowing me to access the medication when I wake up. The second window would open 4 hours later, around 6 AM. On my days off, if I sleep in until 8 AM, the second dose would be available around 12 PM, in line with the 4-hour lockout.
The system would need to be flexible enough to accommodate varying schedules, but I believe it can be engineered to ensure both safety and practicality.
