• If your loved one takes liquid medication such as insulin that can’t be stored in the pill wheel, Pria can still remind you to take that medication
• When is is time to take the medication, Pria uses facial recognition or a preset PIN number to dispense the pills

• If the medication is missed, the caregiver is notified through the app
