Managing medications is harder than it should be.
Multiple medications, multiple schedules. Reminders and trackers. Still, the worry of missing a dose — or not being sure if you already took it — adds up fast. Not because you don't care, but because staying on top of it all takes real mental energy, every day.
Consider Hero if:
- You take multiple medications and keeping up with the schedule takes more mental energy than it should
- You miss doses sometimes — not because you don't care, but because life gets in the way
- You want to manage your health on your own terms, without relying on someone else's reminders
- You're caring for a loved one from a distance, and you want to know their medications are handled

One button replaces the guesswork.
When it's time, Hero lights up and chimes. Press the button, and it's done — the right dose, no guesswork. If you've added a loved one to your account, they're in the loop too — without a single phone call.

On Medicare? Get Hero at reduced or no cost*
You may be eligible to enroll in a Medicare approved remote care program that lets a physician-led care team provide oversight of your ongoing treatment using a connected device like Hero. To apply, you complete a short eligibility form and choose a Hero-partnered health provider from a list. The provider reviews your form and schedules a short visit to confirm your fit and walk through any costs, with no commitment at that stage. If approved, and you decide to enroll, Hero ships to you as part of your covered care.
No cost to check eligibility. No obligation to enroll.

What Hero's device and app do.
The Hero smart dispenser is an automatic pill dispenser that holds up to a 90-day supply of 10 medications and dispenses your scheduled dose with a push of a button, no more sorting, no more messy pill boxes.
The Dispenser:
- Holds up to 90-day supply: Up to 90-day supply of up to 10 different meds
- Right dose, right time: Sorts and dispenses automatically, no manual sorting or counting
- One button: One press of a button, and your dose is dispensed in a cup
- Passcode protection: Set a dispense passcode or a daily safety limit per medication
The App:
- Reminders & Missed-dose alerts: Alerts you or ones who care when it’s dose time, or when one was skipped
- Checks for interactions: Notifies you if there’s a potential interaction between meds on your list*
- Remote dispensing: Trigger a dose from anywhere, no button press needed on the other end
- Adherence history: Track it yourself for yourself or your loved one. Share it with a doctor.
* Not a substitute for pharmacist or a medical professional review
How Hero compares.
A one-time-purchase pillbox or basic dispenser can cost less upfront. If you never need support, a replacement part, or a regimen change, that might be enough. Most people need those things eventually.

FAQs
Your subscription covers the device, the app, 24/7 support, and a limited lifetime warranty — if Hero ever breaks or malfunctions, it's replaced at no cost while you're a member.
All Hero plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee — if Hero isn't the right fit, return it within 30 days of activation for a full refund, no questions asked.
Beyond the trial period, Hero is available on a 12-month prepaid plan starting at $29.99/mo, on a monthly payment plan at $44.99/mo with a 12-month commitment, or on a no commitment plan at $59.99/mo.
Hero works with most whole pills — tablets and capsules of any size or shape. A few types don't work in the dispenser: liquids, half pills, gummies, soft gel caps, chewable or dissolvable tablets, powdery or sticky medications, and anything that needs refrigeration.
If part of your regimen falls into those categories, that's not a problem. The Hero app tracks up to 10 additional medications separately — with reminders and missed-dose alerts — so your full regimen stays visible and on schedule, even if not everything goes through the dispenser.
Yes. The Hero app gives you real-time visibility into your loved one's adherence. You'll see when a dose was taken, when it was late, and when it was missed, from wherever you are. Missed-dose alerts come directly to your phone.
If your loved one needs help, you can trigger a dispense remotely from the app - it dispenses automatically, no button press required on their end. You can also update their medication schedule from anywhere, without needing to be there in person.
No. One Hero subscription covers everyone. As the account holder, you can invite as many family members or caregivers as you need — they join through the Hero app as medication partners at no extra cost. Each person gets real-time visibility and notifications. No separate subscriptions, no additional fees.
Yes. Hero needs a 2.4GHz WiFi connection to sync your medication schedule, send reminders, and deliver missed-dose alerts to you and anyone in your support network. The dispenser itself will still alert and dispense at scheduled times if your connection drops temporarily — but notifications may not come through as expected until it reconnects. A stable home WiFi connection is all you need.
Every Hero smart dispenser comes with a Pill access key — a manual access key that lets you retrieve your medications at any time, including during a power outage. Your pills are always accessible. If you want continuous operation without interruption, we recommend pairing Hero with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Hero gives you a few options depending on how long you'll be away:
- Short trips — Pre-dispense your doses before you leave. The Hero app will still remind you when it's time to take them, so you stay on schedule without the dispenser.
- Longer trips — Bring Hero with you. The included travel bar secures the dispenser safely for transport.
