In today's society, there are more and more things bothering people, such as houses, cars, etc. One of them is that people sometimes don't care about it, and when they don't regret it, that is health. Then because of the fast-paced life and various pressures in the society, more and more patients with chronic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. Take hypertension as an example. The prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in China are on the rise, and the prevalence of hypertension is showing a "blowout"

Changes in cardiovascular mortality among urban and rural residents in China from 1990 to 2013.

2014 China Cardiovascular Disease Report:

At the same time, according to the fifth hypertension census in China, hypertension patients in China have been "rising" all the way.

These chronic diseases generally have one feature, that is, they need to take medicine for a long time. It doesn't mean that if your blood pressure is stable and your blood sugar is stable today, it means you are healthy. You can stop taking medicine?!!

But in the process of taking medicine frequently, it will lead to a problem - poor medication compliance, that is, unable to take medicine on time and in quantity. This point is recognized by most doctors as the primary factor preventing chronic diseases from being controlled. Many people have tried every means to set various alarm clocks to remind them to take medicine on time. How to take medicine on time has become a concern of most people.

Fortunately, I got a trial product from the Internet, Memo Box. Although I am not a chronic patient, it is because of this that I can evaluate this kit without affecting my health.

The first thing to do is to receive the package from Ganji.com, split the package and see what it contains?

After opening the package, I saw a pink box with a trademark sticker for trial use. The red and green matching was particularly dazzling. But why the pink packaging? I immediately wondered whether it was the female version (after asking later, I knew that the Bluetooth version was pink or blue, while the flagship version had the same functions as the Bluetooth version, and its appearance was more luxurious.) Well, let's continue to have a look.

It can be seen on the back of the package that it looks like a manual, introducing the use of the medicine box, and explaining that the app can be used for phones after the iPhone 4s, Apple Watch, iPad 3, and Android 4.3 and later versions of Android smartphones.

After opening the box, we can see that there are two paper boxes, one of which is empty, the other is hollowed out in the middle, with our Memo Box smart kit, and there is an English version of the instruction manual. You can understand it by looking at the pictures, without English proficiency. Later, I asked the official staff of the Memo Box intelligent kit, because it is a trial version, some things are not perfect, such as an empty box, which may be put in some different types of boxes in the later stage, and the instructions will also be changed to the Chinese version later. The packaging box may also be optimized.

Inside the box is an inner box divided into four parts, which can contain medicine. But it would be better if some colors could be set inside to distinguish them, which can effectively prevent patients from taking the wrong medicine when taking medicine. Especially now, the appearance of granular medicine is mostly white. If the appearance is similar, it is difficult to distinguish which medicine is.

A groove can be seen on the side of the kit, where nails or coins can be used to rotate. After opening, it is the power supply part, which uses electronic power supply. Although I personally prefer the best one that can be recharged, considering that the smart kit can be used for a year without needing to be powered again, I think the electronics are also OK. The overall appearance size is 100mm * 76mm * 22mm.

During the trial, I downloaded an app to use, and I used candy to evaluate the medicine, which is lemon flavored candy and melon flavored candy. The following picture shows apps and reminders. In the three time set for each day, if you take medicine, the app will display a green √, while if you do not take medicine, it will display a red one! Click the daily details to see the number of times I open the medicine box every day. Each time I open the medicine box, it will be recorded in the medicine box. When I connect with my mobile phone, it will automatically synchronize. As you can see, I open the medicine box many times a day to eat sugar.

Suppose we didn't take medicine at the specified time today, and the medicine box is recorded as not taking medicine, what can we do?

If it is before the current day, there is no way to save it, but the current day can be manually modified As shown in the following picture, the lemon on the 22nd can not be operated after being opened, while the lemon on the 23rd can be marked as eaten after being opened.

Here are some more pictures to enjoy.

Finally, let's summarize the Memo Box smart kit. First, the size is good in terms of length and width, but the thickness is slightly thick. It is very convenient to carry when there is a backpack, but if it is put in the pocket, plus the mobile phone, it still has a sense of thickness.

In terms of voice, I feel that the voice is relatively low. When I put it in the backpack, it is often covered by the external voice, so I can't hear the beep of the medicine box. Although in order to save power, I personally think the volume can be increased for health. At the same time, simple beeps are not easy to attract people's attention, and there is a sense of irritability after listening for a long time. It would be better if voice function could be added. It recorded the voice of a family member and children. Hearing "they" remind themselves to take medicine, there was no sense of happiness.

In addition, there is no color distinction in the medicine box, which may make people eat the wrong medicine in the inner box. I think color recognition can be added to the kernel, such as yellow, red, and green. In addition, when setting, we can set what medicine to eat and how much to eat in the app, which is more convenient for reminding.

Some settings in the app are not satisfactory. For example, for the same drug, I want to directly set it once at 8:00 in the morning and once at 6:00 in the evening, so I can only select one time after entering the name of the drug, while the other one needs to be entered again and set. Suppose there is a drug that needs to be taken three times a day, isn't it three times?? I hope these can be improved in the app.

There is only one life. I hope everyone can be healthy. Even if they have some diseases, they still hope to take medicine on time. I hope that when the official version of the Memo Box smart kit is launched, it will bring a different feeling from the current trial.
