    Employers can now use very simple technology to both remind employees to take their medication on time, as well as monitor how they are doing. The wireless pillbox from MedMinder (http://www.medminder.com) reminds the user to take their medication by flashing, beeping, text messages, email and/or phone calls. Their medication adherence can be tracked through a web application that may be made available to employers, caregivers as well as the patients themselves.

    Simple technolgies such as these can go a long way in terms of increasing medication compliance and saving healthcare costs.
