Jutta's idea, see list upper right called Electric Pillbox seems to be the same, I'll reread. |

jutta's idea seems to focus on making the container alarm, and it has been baked since. |

I'm talking about something that, while additive and certainly not a far cry from hers, seems distinct, i.e. notifying the doctor that a schizophrenic has not taken his pill. |

tc, you could be more specific by changing 'caretaker' to doctor and have notification via whatever is the most recent wireless inovation. just a sug. |

//While no one can guarantee -- yet -- that the pills are not being flushed down the toilet// Put RFID tags in the pills, and a reader on the U-bend of the toilet. |
|

It seems to me that the reader would scan a tag sooner or later if the pill WAS being taken. |
|

if you're testing anyway why watch him take it? |

Verifying compliance by a mentally disabled or mildly
demented patient who simply forgets or doesn't understand
is a different kettle of fish from enforcing it in a paranoid
