Hero: Smart Medication Dispenser with Reminders for Daily Care of Older Adults
A dose of calm for caregivers
Take the hassle out of taking meds.
We are caregivers who built Hero to support our own loved ones.
Our founder, Kal, built Hero to help care for his mother, who was a patient and physician herself. Hero combines precision technology with a simple user experience, allowing you to automate med management, and get back to enjoying time with your loved one. Hero offers independence with enhanced transparency and connection.
Let Hero manage the meds. Focus on what matters.
No advanced technology know-how required.
Hero dispenses the right pills at the right time, with the simple press of a button. The app allows you to manage medication regimen changes, simplifying the experience for your loved one. Add passcodes to restrict device settings.
Audible reminders when it’s time to take their meds.
Hero reminders are hard to ignore. The dispenser alert is loud and persistent. If the dose is not dispensed, your loved one will receive additional reminders through their preferred platform: phone-call, text, or app notification.
You will know if they took or missed their meds.
The Hero app keeps track of adherence and notifies you when your loved one is late to a dose. If needed, it allows the designated administrator to dispense the medication remotely. You will also be notified on device status, such as when pills are running low.
Save time by not having to sort and refill a pill box.
If your loved one is taking multiple pills, or their medication schedule and regimen are frequently changing, sorting and refilling a traditional pill box can take hours every week.
The Hero smart dispenser alerts you when it’s pill time
One-button press sorts and dispenses your dose. The Hero smart dispenser is about the size of a coffee maker and fits on any kitchen counter.
Track complex regimens with the Hero mobile app
The Hero app helps manage every pill stored in your smart dispenser, plus up to 10 additional meds outside of the device.
Keep you and your loved ones safe
For even more peace of mind, add passcode protection, set maximum dispense limits and get low-pill alerts.

FAQs
No. The Hero smart dispenser is an incredibly complicated piece of hardware that needs to work every time to ensure the health of Hero users (as well as comply with both FDA and HIPAA regulations). We've created the first end-to-end medication management service that includes the dispenser and medication management app. Similar devices with subscription models like Philips ($60 a month) and MedMinder ($50 a month) are significantly more expensive and provide fewer features. Other options available to buy outright, like Livi ($979) and Medacube ($1299), are also costly to purchase and do not include a mobile app that allows users to interface with the Hero as the primary user or remotely as a caregiver. The subscription model allows us to offer Hero to as many users as possible at an affordable monthly price. Your subscription also includes Hero unlimited warranty and access to 24/7 live support for the duration of your Hero subscription term! Read more...
If you cancel, your Hero smart dispenser will stop working. Don’t worry; you will still be able to get any remaining medication out of your Hero prior to returning it to us! Plus, we will provide you with a free return shipping label. Read more...
Every Hero smart dispenser has a Safety Key that you can use to manually open the device and access your pills. We recommend adding an Uninterruptible Power Supply for continuous use. Read more...
Your subscription purchase is protected by a 90-day money-back guarantee starting when you activate your Hero smart dispenser or within a week after delivery (the earlier of the two). If you decide to cancel your subscription after the 90-day trial and before your commitment term is complete, monthly plans will be charged the remaining balance of the 12 month commitment. Annual and 24-month plans will not be refunded. We will send you a reminder 14 days before your commitment term expires and your plan is auto-renewed. If you choose to cancel your subscription at that point, there will be no cancelation fees, and you will need to return the Hero smart dispenser. For more details, see: https://herohealth.com/returns
The subscription model with commitment term allows us to offer Hero to as many users as possible at an affordable price while also making constant updates to both the app and the firmware that control the Hero smart dispenser. Your subscription also includes a lifetime warranty for the duration of your Hero subscription term.
