Managing medications is harder than it should be.
Multiple medications. Multiple schedules. It adds up faster than anyone tells you. Some pills run out before others. Your schedule can change at any doctor's visit. And then there's that question — did you already take it?
Most people taking multiple medications are likely to miss doses at some point - not because they lack motivation, but because staying on track with a complex regimen takes more mental energy than most people have to spare.
Hero takes that off your plate.
You should consider Hero if...
- You take multiple medications daily and keeping up with the schedule takes more mental energy than it should
- You tend to miss doses, not because you don't care, but because your regimen is complicated and life gets in the way
- You want to stay on top of your health on your own terms, without relying on reminders from anyone else
- You're a family caregiver caring for a loved one from a distance, and you want the confidence that their medications are handled, whether you're there or not
If any of those sound like you, Hero was built for you.
“...I hated sorting out my medications every weekend and would often miss doses. That's no longer an issue with Hero!..."
What is Hero?
Hero is the first end-to-end medication management service that combines a smart pill dispenser with a connected app, so your medications are organized and on schedule without you having to think about it.
Hero subscription includes:
The Hero smart dispenser
Automatically sorts and dispenses up to a 90-day supply of 10 medications on schedule, with light and sound alerts at dose time.
The Hero app
Tracks what was taken and when, manages your full medication list, sends reminders and missed-dose alerts, and gives family members real-time visibility into a loved one's adherence.
Warranty and 24/7 support
With our limited lifetime warranty and 24/7 support, you have one less thing to worry about. If any questions about setup, settings, or the Hero platform ever come up — you are covered.
How it works: from delivery to your peace of mind
Hero ships to your door
Free shipping, right to your home. Your Hero smart dispenser arrives in 2–3 business days — no trip to a store, no complicated ordering process.
You set it up
Follow the guided steps in the Hero app to load your pills and set your schedule. Most members are up and running in about 30 minutes.
No more remembering. No more worry
Hero handles it from here. When it's time for a dose, Hero lights up and chimes — press one button and your dose is dispensed. If a dose is missed, you and your medication partners are notified right away.
What does the Hero smart dispenser 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 at the right time - no more sorting, no more counting, no more messy pill boxes.
- Works with most whole pills: Hero supports a wide range of whole pills, no pre-configuration needed. The Hero app tracks up to 10 additional medications that the dispenser can't hold.
- Fill it with your prescription: Hero holds up to a 90-day supply in 10 separate cartridges. Load it when your pills arrive and you're set.
- One button, one dose: At dose time Hero alerts you with light and sound (volume adjustable). Press the button and your scheduled dose is dispensed into the cup.
- As-needed dispensing: Need a dose outside your schedule? Hero supports as-needed dispensing. You can set a daily maximum per medication in the app and Hero won't exceed it.
- Optional passcode protection: Set a passcode or block menu access to prevent unintended changes.
- Fits on any kitchen counter: Hero is about the size of a coffee maker. No rearranging, no dedicated space needed.
What does the Hero app do?
The Hero app is where you manage everything: your schedule, your medications, and how the people who care about you stay informed.
For you:
- Schedule management: Update your schedule, doses, and timing in the Hero app any time. No need to reload the dispenser for most changes.
- Track your full regimen: Schedule and track up to 10 additional medications the dispenser doesn't hold.
- Reminders and missed-dose alerts: Get notified when it's time to take your medications. If you miss a dose, Hero reminds you.
- See your adherence history: Review your adherence and share the report directly with your doctor.
- Drug interaction warnings: While not a substitute for pharmacist review, the Hero app may notify you if there's a potential interaction between medications on your list.
- Refill reminders: Hero lets you know when a medication is running low.
For medication partners:
- Know when a dose was taken, or missed: Missed-dose alerts go out the moment a dose is late or skipped.
- Stay informed from anywhere: See when a loved one took their medication, was late, or missed a dose entirely, no more "did you take your pills?" calls.
- Dispense remotely when needed: Trigger a dose from the Hero app when your loved one needs help; it dispenses automatically, no button press required.
- Adjust schedules remotely: Update and manage your loved one's medication schedule from anywhere.
- Your whole support network, connected: Add as many family members as needed to a single account - no limit.

FAQs
Hero is a complete medication management service, not just a piece of hardware. The monthly subscription fee covers everything — the use of a smart dispenser, the app, 24/7 support, and your limited lifetime warranty. It's what allows us to keep the service updated, supported, and working reliably for your loved one every single day.
Comparable devices available to purchase outright start at $1,999 — and come with only a limited 1-year warranty, no caregiver app, and no ongoing support. At $29.99/mo with a prepaid plan, Hero works out to less than a dollar a day, with everything included and your device replaced free of charge if it ever stops working.
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.
