Pillo empowers people of all ages to better manage their health.
Pillo is smart and he's always learning. You can ask him health and wellness questions so that you don't have to go scouring the internet looking for answers. And what's more, Pillo gathers his information only from verified sources, ensuring that you receive the most up-to-date and accurate information available.
Pillo is a healthcare companion. Using the latest in voice and facial recognition technologies, Pillo can hear, see and understand you. This enables him to adapt his functionalities to serve your specific needs. And to ensure that your supplements, medication, and personal data are all totally secure.
How long did your last visit to the doctor take? Two hours? Three hours? Pillo can connect you with a healthcare professional in minutes, from the comfort of your own home. No more waiting rooms. Get the help you need right when you need it with Pillo.
Pillo is a unique device, improving over time as he gets to know you, and gaining new functionalities as his software is remotely updated. Below are some of the exciting additional features that we plan to develop in the near future. Some we will begin building soon after our crowdfunding campaign ends. Others, we will build as soon as we are done shipping the first Pillo devices.

With his tamper proof casing and advanced user recognition features, Pillo offers multiple levels of security for you and your family. The user experience is driven by a powerful ARM based processor, seven-inch touchscreen display, HD camera, multiple microphones, speaker, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. Pillo is also equipped with an auxiliary lithium-ion battery to ensure that important functionality can remain active in the event of a temporary power outage.

One of Pillo's core strengths is his operating system, which will allow our team, as well as external developers, to integrate existing digital health solutions onto the platform, and to create new and exciting native and mobile applications for Pillo.
Our first mobile application is currently in the final stages of Beta testing. This app manages supplement and medication schedules, sends/receives notifications and reminders, and curates personalized health information for individual users. It can also easily connect you directly to vendors when it's time for a refill. It's the perfect mobile companion for your Pillo.

How do I contact you?
Send us an email at hello@pillohealth.com
Why did you choose flexible rather than fixed funding?
We chose flexible funding purely for logistical reasons. Fixed funding does not allow our backers to pay via credit card. Instead they need to pay via PayPal. Flexible funding gives them the option to use either approach.
Why did you choose $75,000 as a goal?
As a company we have already raised a significant amount of angel and seed capital and have cash in the bank. This is all without having approached a single VC (Venture Capital) investor. The crowdfunding campaign gives us a chance to raise additional capital, to engage with the market, to increase brand awareness, and to give our customers the opportunity to buy Pillo at significant discounts.
What will you do if you do not reach your $75,000 stated target?
If we do not reach our stated target of $75,000 we will return the cash to our Indiegogo backers, cancel their orders, and continue with our plans for launching Pillo in 2017.
Is it easy to set it up?
Yes. We’ve designed Pillo so
that anybody can use it. To the extent that you have any trouble setting up
your device you can call our customer support team 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
How much will Pillo cost in stores?
Pillo will be available in stores towards the end of 2017. He will cost $599 if you
do not purchase him as part of our Indiegogo pre-order campaign, which begins
on June 28th 2016 and will run for 40 days.
What languages does Pillo speak?
Pillo speaks excellent
English. We will build in additional languages in due course.
What if I am soft spoken or have an accent?
Pillo’s voice recognition
capabilities are excellent. We’ve tested him across a range of voice tonalities
and accents.
Does Pillo require Wi-Fi connection?
Yes, Pillo requires a working
Wi-Fi connection.
Does Pillo sync with my phone?
Yes. Pillo can connect to
most wearable and wireless devices.
Can I use Pillo with my iOS / Apple device?
Yes. Pillo has a companion

Where can I get the Pillo Mobile App?
We have already built both
Android and iOS versions of the app. You will be able to download it from
either the Google or Apple app stores.
Will there be additional Pillo Apps?
Yes. We will be building
additional applications and exciting new features for Pillo. These can be
downloaded onto the Pillo device itself.
Can Pillo really recognize me?
Yes! Our engineers have years
of experience building and working with both voice and facial recognition
software. Pillo will be able to see you from several feet away. His
omnidirectional microphones mean that he’ll be able to hear you from anywhere in the room.
What kind of questions can I ask Pillo?
You will be able to ask Pillo
all sorts of health and wellness related questions. We are integrating Pillo
into several verified and well respected online databases in areas such as
medicine, nutrition, diet, and more. That way you can be sure that the
information you receive from Pillo is of the highest quality.
Will Pillo remind me to take my pills?
Yes. Pillo will be able to
alert and remind you directly from the device itself, or via notifications from
our mobile application.
Can Pillo remind me to take other supplements, like
powders, or other supplements?
Yes. Pillo only stores pills,
but he can still remind you to take other supplements directly from the device
itself, or via notifications from our mobile application.
How many different profiles can be set up on Pillo?
Pillo has been designed to be
used both by individuals and by families. You can set up as many profiles as
you like on the device. However, bear in mind that the more users you add to
the device, the fewer pills-per-user Pillo will be able to store.
Will it work if the power cuts?
Yes. To get the most out of
Pillo you will need to plug him into a power socket. However, if the power cuts
in your home we have an internal battery that will be able to power Pillo for
up to 6 hours
How do you store my data? What about my Privacy?
When dealing with your
private health information we have to adhere to strict rules set by the U.S
government. The data that we collect will be stored and transported according
to HIPAA regulations. You can read more about HIPAA compliance here.
How is the developer edition different from standard
edition?
The developer edition will give
developers early access to our API in order to develop new and exciting applications
for Pillo.

We have been working closely
with partners such as Dragon Innovation to nail down the delivery timeline. We
will deliver your devices to you by July 2017.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. We will offer at least a
1-year warranty. To the extent that countries impose longer warranty periods by
law then we will adhere to those regulations.
How do I contact customer support if I need it?
We will have a customer
service team on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the meantime you can
email hello@pillohealth.com
PILL DISPENSING
How many pills does Pillo hold?
Pillo can hold approximately 250
medium sized pills.
How many weeks of pills can Pillo hold?
Pillo will be able to store four
weeks worth of pills. If you take a particularly large number of pills per day
(for example, if you take more than 14 pills per day) or if you have multiple
profiles on the device then he will store approximately two weeks worth of
pills.
How do I load the pills?
Pillo has a slot on top of
the device where you will load your pills. Using the screen or voice interface
you will be guided step by step in the loading process. Using proprietary
algorithms Pillo will sort the pills into the correct container. However, if
you prefer, you can also remove the container and place your Pills directly
into Pillo’s extractable pillbox tray. We are in discussions with pharmacy
partners to pre-load the tray so that in the future you can simply insert a new
tray into Pillo every time you need to refill (every 2-4 weeks).
How does Pillo know which pills to dispense at which
time?
We have built a mobile
application to help with this process. After downloading our app you will be
prompted to input the name of your pills, and the times at which those pills
should be taken. You can also add features like “to be taken after meals” or
“to be taken before bed.” You only need to do this once. The information will
sync with Pillo and he will know which Pills to dispense at what times. You can
also input the information directly into Pillo by using our touch screen or voice interface.
Are my pills secure inside Pillo? How do I prevent unwanted access?
Your Pills are very secure inside Pillo. We have added multiple layers of security across our hardware (casing) and software (biometric identifiers) in order to ensure that your pills are only accessible by you or a designated caretaker. During the set up process you can choose the level of security that suits your specific needs.
Can I take my pills with me on holiday?
Absolutely. You have two options. Either take Pillo with you, or tell Pillo how long you are going away for and he will be able to dispense you your medications in advance. Just be sure to bring along your own portable pillbox to keep the pills safe and dry.
What about Pills that need to be refrigerated?
You will need to store those in the fridge. However, you can still enter the schedule information into the Pillo app so that Pillo can remind you or send you notifications when it’s time to fetch your pills from the fridge.
