GlowCap pic.jpg Tired of your spouse or your parents nagging you to take your meds? Why not let the med bottle nag you instead? It's called the GlowCap, made by Vitality. The cap fits any standard 20-gram pill vial (it comes with its own case in case your pharm isn't exactly regulation), and has a built-in 900 MHz radio (like a cordless phone) that connects you to the net via its own little network. You just go to a Web page to tell the cap how often you need to pop your pills. When the time comes to medicate, the cap starts to blink, slowly at first then more rapidly. If you don't get the hint, the cap rings like a cellphone, softly first then gradually louder. If you've got the music turned up to 11, the cap can actually call you on the phone. Failing that, it becomes the pill bottle Terminator - it hunts you down, pries open your mouth and rams a pill down your lazy-ass throat.
