Abstract: An electronic pill dispenser that includes two receptacles, one of which is easily accessible, is programmed as to when respective medications should be dispensed. The pill dispenser processes this programmed information, and effects the distribution of appropriate pills at appropriate times by actuating one or more DC motors mechanically connected to rotate wheels within which pills are housed. Upon dispensing pills, the present invention announces what it has done by way of speaker. Alternative embodiments of the present invention may include voice-activation and recognition, and may be capable of connecting to a personal computer for the purposes of programming.
