Secure Medication Dispenser iPill with Dr. John Hsu

Dr. John Hsu, founder of iPill, discusses this innovative method of securely delivering medications, especially buprenorphine (Suboxone), to patients. The device contains a month’s supply of medications, and dispenses a single dose to the patient after they use a phone's biometric security function to unlock it. The device is tamper proof and will coat the medications with a substance rendering them inert. This novel idea addresses the billions of unused opioid medications sitting in medicine cabinets that could be misused.
