Live Fine Smart WiFi Automatic Pill Dispenser Clear Lid | 28-Day Medication Organizer Up to 9 Doses Per Day for Care Monitoring with Lock Key, Light/Sound Alarms for Prescriptions & Vitamins

We bought this for our father as he was starting to need lots of pills. When he did not take his pills on time his dementia would fool him into thinking he needed to take his pills over and over, causing overdosing. This device was easy for us to understand and easy for him to understand. The key was understanding that you can turn over the device to get out the pills with no negative consequences.His wife hated it because of the alarm (it would startle her) so she demanded that we stop using the device. We tried making the device more suitable for her but it proved to be a real deal breaker. His health suffered as a result and we lost him. We still feel that he would be around if he was allowed to use it, although there is no way of knowing.Very good and durable device that is really worth every penny of its cost. We only wish we would have gotten it earlier so his wife could have gotten more used to it when she was more coherent.Highly recommended for senior living as they approach end of life.

I purchased for a family member that has dementia and lives alone. We are trying to help prolong them being in their home. They take medicine 2x a day and wanted to make sure they were actually taking. Sometimes even with a phone call it wasn't happening.The initial set up wasn't bad. I did have to factory reset 2 times. One: something happened in set up and the tray was resetting every time it "dispensed". Then I had tried to set up at my home and then take over. But I couldn't just switch the network when I got there and the customer service said I had to reset. Well at this point setting it up was old hat anyway.Both timed I had to talk to customer service they answered right away and were pleasant and easy to understand.After reading some reviews I added some notes to the top with paper and scotch tape. 1. An instruction to tip the pills out when the alarm goes to make it stop. 2. Slide with an arrow pointing in the direction to slide open the compartment when the alarm went off. 3. A note that says pills with an arrow pointing up over the "open"Pros:-Notifications from the machine every time medicine is taken (or not taken)-Notifications for low battery-Pretty easy set up-Auditory and visual indicators to take meds-Doesn't stop until it is taken or the time limit on the alarm-Can allow meds to be taken early via app-Customer service-Locks to prevent being opened and tampered withCons:-The plug is just a USB cord. It would be better if it was affixed in the back. It can be knocked loose in 3 places where it connects to the machine, where the USB connects to the plug and where the plug goes into the wall. This has become an issue.-The app doesn't notify you it has been unplugged. If you open the app you can see if it is, but no notification until the battery is already low.-Battery is a backup. Not sure how long it runs for, but I don't think it's days.-Afore mentioned inability to change the network in app.-Sometimes the app isn't very intuitiveOverall this is a great product. It has really helped with medication adherence and peace of mind. Worth the price tag and no monthly fee.

We've only had this for about 2 weeks, but it's been a game changer. My dad has advanced Parkinsons (diagnosed about 12 years ago) and he has the associated dementia/cognitive impairment. We can assist with his other meds as he lives next door, but the Parkinsons meds have been a challenge since he takes them 5x day and we both work. So far, this has been amazing! Since it's locked, there is no way he can accidentally take too many or take them at the wrong time and I have the app set-up on my phone so I can see while I'm at work if he took them on time. So far, it's been working perfectly. Prior to this, we were using a pill box with 5 comparents and a timer, but he was still taking them wrong. With this, it's been going smoothly. Set-up was a little annoying with connecting the wi-fi and the app set-up, but once you get past that minor annoyance, it's great. Highly recommend if the person has adequate family/caregiver support to track and refill the compartments.

I purchased this device to ensure my mother was only getting one dose of her nighttime meds. Her dementia had caused her to forget taking meds and then take additional doses. The unit was strange to her but worked effectively with repeated explanations and notes to explain. However, one night when she was convinced she needed to get at the pills inside, she pried the lid open with a butter knife by breaking the plastic latch hook.Love the specialized key, but whole lock mechanism should be metal. I’d also recommend that the back up battery be secured with the same key. Too easy to remove battery if the unit is unplugged.Level of users memory loss and curiosity may make this unit a poor choice.

I bought this dispenser a few months back to dispense pills twice a day to my wife and here are my observations -1. Pills occasionally get stuck in the container slots and don't come out when "flipped" over, causing missed dosages.2. The phone app randomly disconnected and won't log in anymore. I reset my password and tried again, but the spinner just keeps spinning and it never reconnects, so no alerts or messages anymore and no way to control the dispenser from my phone any further.Great concept, but not dependable and for the price (and purpose), it needs to be. I have resorted to going back to an alarm on my cell phone and dispensing the pills manually to my wife. Hardly worth it.
