Perhaps named after this civilization in Central America since 1800 BC, at which mathematics was part of the religious sphere and represented forms of knowledge and control of sacred energies, or perhaps it is simply a name chosen because it sounds good and is easy to remember, the fact is that Maya promises to be a successful tool.
It is a pill technology that flashes and beeps when it’s time to take a medicine. Manufactured by MedMinder Systems, is a device equipped with 28 small containers of sufficient size to accommodate more pills each: there are four preset times for each day of the week.
When it is time to take a medicine, a white light at the proper container starts to flash, if you open the wrong one, a siren warning of the error. Patients more lazy or distracted will not be left alone, because Maya will continue to flash and emit sounds more and more intense until the container just has not been open and emptied of its contents.


If this does not happen, the role of Maya does not end here: suspicious by not taking the drug, will send an SMS or an email to a default recipient (eg a child) so that it finds the pattern.
It is also possible to compile Maya reports periodically (monthly or weekly) to verify how many doses have not been taken and make it known to family or general practitioner.


The price of Maya is its economy: the device costs $ 77.50 and use requires the signature of a monthly subscription of $ 29.95.
There are other less expensive products, such as VitaCarry, which has 7 compartments and a timer for multiple daily intakes per day for each type of tablet for around 34 euros, or JC-242 – Joyce that the price of about 10 euros you can set four hours of intake and has audible and bright display.
Given the higher price, Maya offers obvious advantages because it allows you to program an entire month of recruitment and to monitor over time the patient.
