New technology could help with that joining me now is doctor Patrick stingy on founder and CEO of we -- works developer of the mentality glow caps doctor welcome -- Thank you.
So clearly you are.
Research this technology is inspired by the fact that as we said in our introduction people are just not taking their medicine -- -- how in your view rampant is the problem.
It's a big problem you know I think with chronic disease not only the cost and -- the well being of the patients so.
We've -- develop this technology because nobody has before been able to develop from the you can measure.
With the dean does not taking medications in real time how does that work with wireless technology how -- -- only has -- stock.
We have this wireless technology.
Go cap.
And -- actually this device -- -- this is an issue plugged in.
And a -- -- that she talks machine to machine.
To the device.
So with the device than talking -- you we know when the patient is through moved the cap.
And taking the medication if not they get -- in mind the sound if not -- -- actually you coal you Mellon SMS message.
So we've taken -- -- -- -- to use the technology of today.
To provide real time a medication adherence.
Are -- challenge you hear a little bit 7999.

You see this products will cost which is not a cheap price tag so.
Why not just set you know -- you said that -- alert people via their phones why not deceptive phone alarm.

Of a long period of time three months and six months so that's a real change in sufficient chronic diseases and and wealth allows the the BK -- talked to him.
No in real time we loved ones that actually taking the medication.
And what was the feedback from Las Vegas -- you're participating Consumer Electronics Show.
Yet it's been a very busy -- we've actually demonstrated two technologies one is this -- and -- platform.
Any other platform was a three dimensional recognition engine and actually so the medication adherence platform.
Allows schools to talks have to speak.
And this other three dimensional recognition.
Platform in which -- mobile phone.
-- -- recognize.
Real objects.
