低科技智能藥盒
The Pill Guardian 支援偏遠地區的長者病人
根據西班牙老年醫學及老年學學會（Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología）的數據，獨居長者中有 50% 未能正確服藥，儘管市面上有不少應用程式及智能裝置能提供協助，Pill Guardian 誕生的目的，是透過縮窄那些被科技進步遺忘地區的數碼健康鴻溝，藉此拯救生命。Pill Guardian 無需 WiFi 及 SIM 卡即可運作，充分利用 LoRaWAN 技術，以及鄉郊地區既有的天線及發射塔網絡作為信號中繼。因此，這款裝置能夠實時通知照顧者病人是否已服藥——並透過長波信號完成，其數據用量比一則短訊還要低。
Pill Guardian 設計上可容納一星期的療程份量，其存在目的是保護長者健康、減少因服藥失誤而引致的入院個案，並優化公共及私人資源的運用。
英文原文
According to the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología) 50% of elderly living alone do not take their medication correctly, and while there are many apps and smart devices that can help, Pill Guardian was created to save lives by reducing the digital health divide in places where people have been left behind by progress. Pill Buardian operates without WiFi and without SIM cards, making the most of LoRaWAN technology and a pre-existing network of antennas and radio towers in rural areas as signal repeaters. As such, the device notifies caregivers in real-time if a patient has taken their medication—and it does so via a long-wave signal that consumes less data than an SMS.
Pill Guardian, designed to hold one week of treatment, exists to protect elderly health, decrease hospital admissions related to medication errors, and optimize public and private resources.
