    I’m just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. “It’s 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds.” You’d probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad’s meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )

    That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.

    My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to “cheat” the daily dispensers he has now.

    EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.

    EDIT 2: Here’s a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120
