Menlo Park, Calif. — Hello Heart, a leader in digital heart health solutions, has announced the release of its latest innovation, the Hello Heart Pill Box — a connected, smart pill organizer aimed at tackling one of the most persistent challenges in cardiovascular care: medication adherence.
The new Pill Box integrates directly with the Hello Heart app and blood pressure monitor, providing users with a streamlined, tech-enabled way to manage their heart health. Equipped with built-in light indicators and smart reminders, the Pill Box is designed to help users take their medications consistently, addressing a major factor contributing to preventable heart attacks and strokes.
“Taking medications as prescribed is one of the most impactful ways to reduce heart attack and stroke risk, yet it remains a challenge for many,” said Dr. Edo Paz, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart. “Hello Heart Pill Box empowers people to take control of their health by providing a user-friendly and effective way to stick to medication routines.”
Medication non-adherence remains a significant issue in the U.S., especially among individuals with hypertension. According to studies cited by Hello Heart, nearly half of adults with high blood pressure do not take their medication as directed — a lapse that can double their risk of heart attacks and strokes. In addition to health risks, poor adherence also drives up healthcare costs across both public and private sectors.
The Hello Heart Pill Box aims to counter these issues with several key features:
-
Compact and Portable Design: With up to 14 spacious compartments, the Pill Box is built for both at-home and on-the-go use.
-
Smart Reminders: When synced with the Hello Heart app, users receive personalized notifications to help them stay on track.
-
Adherence Tracking: The app allows users and healthcare providers to monitor medication habits over time, offering valuable insights into heart health management.
-
Integrated Experience: Users can view medication data alongside other health metrics, such as blood pressure readings, within a single platform.
“Hello Heart Pill Box is much more than a pill organizer,” said Michal Gutman, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Hello Heart. “Its smart design and app integration turn the challenge of remembering to take medication into a manageable routine.”
Maayan Cohen, CEO and co-founder of Hello Heart, emphasized the broader mission behind the launch. “At Hello Heart, we are working to make heart attacks and strokes a thing of the past,” she said. “The status quo won’t get us there — we need innovation. Products like the Hello Heart Pill Box are essential to engaging people in their heart health like never before.”
The Pill Box is the latest addition to Hello Heart’s growing digital health platform, which already includes a blood pressure monitor and app designed to empower users to proactively manage their cardiovascular health.
