As said before, the Hero Pill Dispenser works together with its proprietary Smartphone Companion App - called the Hero App - which you can use to configure the whole system.

Now, let's have a more detailed look at this smart medication management system and see exactly how this all-in-one automatic pill dispenser actually works.

DESIGN

Starting with the unit's size, the Hero Pill Dispenser comes at a reasonably compact design, measuring just 9 inches long by 9 inches wide by 15 inches tall (22.9 x 22.9 x 38.1 cm). Thanks to its reasonably compact size, you can have it set up at pretty much any space within your kitchen countertop. Not only that, but the whole unit is fairly lightweight, as the system weighs no more than 10 lbs.

Moving on to its design, this automatic pill dispenser features a very mnimalist design, coming with a very sleek and aesthetically pleasing look, which is mainly thanks to its discrete white and gray body. The whole unit also features a very solid construction, and as such, it's safe to say that is is definitely built to last.

This smart medication management system is electric-powered, and so, it comes with an included Power Cable that's long enough to have the unit installed at pretty much any spot in the house - whether you prefer to have it set up at your kitchen, your bathroom, your living room, or even your bedroom.

INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL & PILL DISPENSER

Now, moving on to a closer examination of the system, we'll have a more detailed look at its few major components.

Right at the top of the unit, we have it's built-in color screen display, which, together with its Arrow-Keys Control Panel (located right under the unit's display screen), is what you'll be using as the unit's dedicated User Interface to initially configure the system's internet connectivity (via Wi-Fi) together with your Hero user account, as well as to configure its smart pill-dispensing features.

THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP - The Hero App

As mentioned earlier, you'll also need to have the Hero App (available for both iOS and Android devices) installed in your Smartphone in order to configure the Hero's smart medication management functionalities, such as its medication intake tracking function and its In-App Notifications.

Once again, it's important to note that this smart medication management system is meant to be used with one (x1) single device per each user, as each device can solely be used with one single and unique Hero App account.

Via the Hero App, you can configure the unit to dispense your future dosage as well as to configure different Dispense Limits for your stored medication, and also to configure the App's Medication Reminders & Alerts, which are all conveniently sent to your Smartphone at any time, whether you're just briefly away from home or planning to stay on-the-go for a while.

These Smartphone Alerts and Notifications can be configured to either be sent to you, or alternatively, specifically for the case of an elderly user, for their caregiver. These notifications allow you (or a caregiver) to keep track of any Late, Skipped or Missed Doses, and the App also offers you a Detailed Medication Information Report about all of your current medication intake, which includes both Drug Interaction Monitoring (Beta) as well as Daily & Historic Adherence Tracking.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

Inside the package, users will find: their Hero Pill Dispenser, the unit's included AC power adapter, one (x1) Emergency Key, an included dispensing cup, a Travel Lock (slotted inside the unit), and 10 Medication / Pill cartridges (also slotted inside the unit).
