With prescription drug addiction and overdoses being a major problem in the United States, a timed pill dispenser would release the desired amount of a medication at the times permitted by a patient’s physician.

This could prevent patients from taking too many pills within a certain amount of time and would ensure that patients are receiving the appropriate dosage of medication. As the son of a doctor of physical rehabilitation, I am fully aware of the current prescription drug epidemic, and I believe that an innovation like this could save lives.
