Overview
The ALWINE Offering
MEDISENSOR: Device to make any pill bottle or medication dispensing device smart. Cost effective, 9-month battery life, SMART, attachable IoT device (sticks on top of the pill bottle cap & asthma inhalers) that is memory and Bluetooth enabled and programmable, alerts the patient on the schedules & stores adherence statistics.
APP: App (android & iOS) that enables care provider/patient to set up disease specific medication regimen & customize the regimen together with patient. Pushes medication schedule to MEDISENSOR and collects adherence data from the MEDISENSOR.
PLATFORM : Cloud deployed platform for storing adherence events data in Patient Health Record (PHR) offering potential integration with care providers, insurance companies, pharmacies and pharma companies.
Setup medicines & dosages.
Attach ALWINE Sensor(s)
Stick on top of medication containers (pill bottle/pill box/ inhaler)
App syncs schedule to ALWINE Sensor thru Bluetooth
Configure Sensor settings (volume, alarm interval ..) in the app
Medication schedules of all connected sensors are shown in the app
ALWINE Sensor monitors & stores adherence data. Records user’s state of health.
Sound & visual reminders
ALWINE Sensor Records medicine take (scheduled & unscheduled), missed & user’s state of health
Last dose info
Uploads adherence data to the cloud
App syncs with sensor periodically to upload adherence data to the cloud.

How ALWINE Works
10
Ease of use & user experience
*Sensor sticks on top of all containers (pillbox/pill bottle/inhaler) available in the market (Utility patent granted)
Sensor automatically records medication intakes on opening the cap or pressing the inhaler (Utility patent granted)
Cost Effective $20 < WHO Benchmark (major impedance to adherence is availability of Medication Events Monitoring Systems at reasonable price point - $30 )
Medication containers talk!
Visual & sound alerts directly from the sensor
Sensor runs for 8 months w/o changing the battery. Replaceable battery
Once programmed, sensor works independently of smart phones
ALWINE Sensor
Plastic adaptor
Adhesive PSA
Pill bottle cap
*Only the adaptor is permanently adhered on top of container cap. ALWINE Sensor is locked onto the adapter and programmed for use with a specific medicine container. If needed , it can be unlocked and locked into a different medicine container and reprogrammed for that medicine schedule. 1,2 – Immediate product upgrade, CY 2019
Light outlet
Buzzer ports
Reports to ALWINE friends (providers/loved ones) on medication adherence. Immediate notifications sent to the ALWINE friends on missed dosages of critical medicines.
Sends automatic refill notification to pharmacies & refill reminder in the app
Enables improved focus on care progression by providing Clinical knowledge and Drug(s) Safety Report
Helps anomaly segmentation and decision support system
Recommends care plan based on latest indications
Insights into Care Plan Progression
Medication containers monitor & stores adherence and patient well-being data
ALWINE Sensor along with the Bluetooth button has red1 and green2 buttons that patient can press and communicate state of health after intake of medication. This data can be sent to physicians and pharma companies.
Along with tracking adherence, the ALWINE Sensor will track medication abuse
It can be easily integrated with any 3rd party ecosystem (gateway)
