Intelligent Product Solutions (IPS) today announced that the
Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City selected
the AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle for its “Access +Ability” exhibit,
on view from Dec. 15, 2017 - Sept. 3, 2018. IPS, a
subsidiary of Forward Industries and a leading product design and
development firm, partnered with AdhereTech to design and develop
the “smart” pill bottle that reminds patients to take their
medication.
The Cooper Hewitt exhibit “Access+Ability” features more than 70
works from adaptive clothing and eating implements that assist with
daily routines to apps and “smart” technologies that aid in social
interactions and navigating the environment. Among the 70
designs, the AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle was included. To increase
medication adherence, the AdhereTech pill bottle can send a text
message (to a patient or caregiver), light up, or play a song if
patients forget to take their medication. Many top
pharmaceutical companies and specialty pharmacies and hospitals
currently use AdhereTech and these innovative smart bottles improve
medication adherence by an average of 20%.
Among its many recognitions, the AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle
received the 2017 A’ International Design Award in the Medical
Product Design category. The A’ International Design Award is
a prestigious recognition given to top designs worldwide that
demonstrate an exemplary level of greatness in design. In
2016, the Smart Pill Bottle received the prestigious GOOD DESIGN
Award, the world’s oldest prize dedicated to the most innovative
and cutting-edge industrial products and graphic designs produced
around the world.
The Cooper Hewitt is the only museum in the United States
devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. It
is located at 2 East 91st Street at Fifth Avenue in New York
City.
