Glowcap is an ordinary pillcap with built-in connectivity & computation that encourages behavioral feedback loops with family, remote loved ones, & care-givers.

an orange glow encourages users to take their medicine, up to 4 times per day. a glowcap can also send an email or call a mobile phone as an urgent reminder to take the medicine, & can generate an automatic progress report for the patient & her doctor each month.
