Secure Medication Dispenser iPill with Dr. John Hsu
Manage episode 347006393 series 3411576
Dr. John Hsu, founder of iPill, discusses this innovative method of securely delivering medications, especially buprenorphine (Suboxone), to patients. The device contains a month’s supply of medications, and dispenses a single dose to the patient after they use a phone's biometric security function to unlock it. The device is tamper proof and will coat the medications with a substance rendering them inert. This novel idea addresses the billions of unused opioid medications sitting in medicine cabinets that could be misused.
