Philips Medication Dispensing (1999) by Philips

An early in-home dispensing machine that treated missed doses as a remote-care event.

The locked tray that opens on time.

Philips MD2 / Medication Dispensing Service loaded cups, opened one at the right time, and alerted if it wasn't taken. Hero and MedMinder stand on this idea.

Opened connected in-home dispensing.
