This was somewhat larger than I was expecting but does exactly what it says it will.You can use the rings to set a different number of pills per day.In my case 3 pills taken at three times, really easy to set up with the app.The rings fit in to make sure you get the right pills in the right compartments - nothing in the red compartments.It informs you when things happen - e.g. opening the lid - lock the lid if the person taking the meds has dementia or similar.The alarm goes off and tells you to take your pills, if you ignore it, it carries on telling you for 30 minutes (which gets suitably annoying) and then sends a message to say a dose has been missed.In order to send the pill to the next one you have to turn the device upside down to dispense the pills ... onto my lap for the video...It's warm, excuse my legs - LOL.If you have a person struggling with memory and medication taking consistently this thing is marvellous with a few caveats.Someone needs to set it up for themSomeone should monitor the app to check that they are not missing dosesIt needs to be plugged in to remain charged, the battery is just for back up to retain time and date etc.There are a couple of quirks with the app, like if you change timezone you have to disconnect and reconnect to get the correct time again but I would suggest that won't happen often if the person has dementia.My dad had dementia and needed to take heart medication at regular intervals, and I think that this would have been a fantastic device to help my mum as she wouldn't have the additional stress of remembering meds (she doesn't have memory issues, just a lot on her plate).In it's place this is a great device.If there are not any memory issues but you get busy and forget, then it is also a neat device, I happily have it nagging me now for time dependant tablets.

The ScoopThe Adamson TimelyMed is a smart pill dispenser with WiFi connectivity, offering remote monitoring, reminders, and medication scheduling through a free app.Key Features- Audio and visual medication reminders- WiFi app for remote monitoring and medication tracking (by caregivers)- Lock feature with keys for added security- Easy setup with the free app, and the dosage rings- 28-day medication capacityPotential Benefits- Improved medication adherence for forgetful individuals- Peace of mind for caregivers with remote monitoring capabilities- Secure medication storage with lock and 2 keys- Easy medication organisation with dosage ringsThings to Consider- Relies on WiFi connectivity (may not be suitable for all)- App functionality required for full features (may not be suitable for everyone)- The impact on medication adherence may vary depending on the individual- Although supplied with a battery, the dispenser also comes with a 2-pin 5V 2A USB-A power adapter which will require converting to a UK 3-pin plug before use. NB: 5V 2A a common power output, and you may already have a USB charger that meets the specification.- Once the dispenser is plugged in and functioning, I would suggest leaving the power adapter connected rather than rely solely on the internal battery.Overall SentimentThe Adamson TimelyMed Smart Pill Dispenser is a feature-rich option for medication management, particularly for those who need remote monitoring and medication tracking. The lock feature and clear dosage rings are some additional benefits. However, it might not be ideal for everyone due to its reliance on WiFi and app functionality. Also, I found the LCD screen somewhat dark and not easily legible in bright light, where I found myself tilting the dispenser away from the light to try and read the screen; I think this part of the dispenser could be improved with a bright OLED screen for greater clarity. Overall though, this automatic pill dispenser is a valuable tool for medication management, offering peace of mind for both users and caregivers.

Great idea but such a shame the unit has to be permanently plugged in. I have it set for my mum for 3 doses per day and the battery lasts under a day. i cant put it where i would like to in the house, but it is working well. the unit is rather large but not that heavy, my mum has grip problems and sometimes drops the unit when trying to tip the pills out, but so far has not broken the unit or lost her pills, time will tell on how long this is still the case, not cheap to replace if it smashers!

The media could not be loaded. This smart pill dispenser machine is absolutely brilliant! It is really easy to navigate and setting it up was nice and simple. By downloading the app, I can always monitor and check to make sure my mother has had her medication at the set times. It sounds an alarm and lights up which is great! It also has a lock with two keys.

Rather dissapointing for the price. Setting up on the app was rather cumbersome, and it is unable to deal with partial dispensing. That is you cant tell it you are halfway through a period. Admittedly not an issue once you get going but even so. Once set up it works well enough, and knows, as advertised, when tablets have been taken - though the odd tablet gets left behind, so a vigourous shake is needed as fetching it with a finger is impossible.. The worst part though is the battery, you would think it would last for at least a full cycle, alas not, three days is the most we have got (this for us as it is two dispenses per day) so rotates only six of the twenty-eight compartments. We have it plugged in the whole time now -the battery being next to useless. I wouldn't recommend because of that (given the price).

Came with the wrong charging plug for UK. Unable to connect to internet via APP. APP and instructions poor. Contacted customer support who haven’t bothered to respond. It still works. Could have save money by purchasing the manual set up version. Which is what we’ve done.
