Description

ABSTRACT:
Medicine containers are provided with a sound capsule which aids those who are visually impaired to receive instructional information concerning the medicine. The medicine vial or pill bottle is fitted with a housing containing a chip (EEPROM) which is encoded with identifying information by the pharmacist after the bottle is filled. At home the patient has a playback unit with a loud speaker into which the chip housing which serves as a sound conveyor, is placed. Synthetic voice instruction based on the information recorded on the chip is supplied to the loud speaker to assist the reading impaired person.
