6 Best Medication Tracking Devices

Bottom line: Medcenter’s pill system has it all

There are dozens of medication tracking devices on the market, and no two are the same. Some bring a tech element to traditional pillboxes, while others work as wearable reminders. Consider the following as you make your selection:

• Flexibility: Will the device adapt easily to your daily routine?
• Price: Does it fit your budget?
• Usability: Is this device something you’ll be able to easily set up and use?

MedCenter’s pill system comes at an affordable price, doles your prescriptions into four daily doses, and uses an easy color-coded approach. We think this system is an easy one to fit into your daily routine, but make sure to check out the other options we gathered. From wearables to alarm clocks, you should choose whatever suits your lifestyle best.

Top medication trackers and reminders

1. MedCenter 31-Day Pill Organizer with Reminder System: Best overall

MedCenter’s pill system serves as an all-in-one solution. Its 31 compartments separate into four daily doses, helping you make sure that medications are taken on schedule. The organizer also features audible reminders and an alarm clock function.

2. e-Pill 4 Alarm MedCenter Talk: Best bang for buck

If you want a slightly cheaper alternative to the MedCenter 31-day Pill Organizer, the e-Pill 4 Alarm MedCenter Talk has you covered.

It’s organized by a single week rather than days of the month, so it needs to be refilled more often than the MedCenter 31-day Pill Organizer. But its simple design with larger compartments is a plus—it may be easier on arthritic hands.

3. Sagely SMART 7-Day Weekly Pill Organizer: Best smartphone app

Sagely combines the best of both worlds: a pill organizer paired with an optional smartphone app. It holds up to seven days’ worth of pills, and its small size helps it travel well.

4. Reminder Rosie Alarm Clock: Best simple solution

With the Reminder Rosie Alarm Clock, you can record up to 25 reminders, each up to six seconds in length. That means you can leave several specialized reminders—either to yourself or others—about doctor appointments, medications, and other daily tasks.

5. e-pill Cadex 12-Alarm Medication Reminder Watch: Best wearable

E-pill offers several medication management devices, ranging from pillboxes to watches, but the Cadex 12-Alarm is a crowd favorite. The watch features an audible alarm and text option. Its snooze function sounds every three minutes and stays in effect until the wearer takes the prescribed pills.

6. WobL 8-Alarm Vibrating Reminder Watch: Most affordable wearable

The WobL Watch allows wearers to manage daily medications and appointments. Though not designed solely for medical use, the watch’s extended functionality will work well for those with active lifestyles.

Final word

You may have a full schedule, but with the variety and versatility of these seven pill tracking devices, you won’t have to worry about missed medication.
