摘要

Described is a modular electronic pillbox and control method thereof for reminding a patient of taking a pharmaceutical product so as to be adhered to a therapeutic regime; guiding the patient during the medication for performing the same in a correct manner and providing the patient information over the medication adherence during a predetermined period of time (for example 24 hours, 12 hours, 8 hours or 6 hours). The modular electronic pillbox comprises a receptor divided into two sections where the first section stores the electronic system of the pillbox and the second section stores the pharmaceutical product taken by the patient; an upper lid safeguarding the pharmaceutical product from the environment; at least a coupling means located at the outer lateral portion of the container for coupling other container; a user interface with a predetermined geometry where the geometric figure includes segments of high luminosity LEDs, the interface being arranged at the outer portion of the lid and being useful for indicating the frequency of use of the pharmaceutical product required by the patient.
