Many adults who have teeth do because of their habit of brushing them. This is not hard to remember to do: both long habit and skanky mouth are reminders. Pills however, are harder to remember.
I propose a toothbrush caddy pill dispenser. On removing the toothbrush for mouthly ablutions, pills
fall onto a small bell (which rings) and from there into a tray. On replacing the brush, a spring is pushed down preparing the caddy for another round of dispensement.
It might be necessary to have a battery powered clock integrated. This will prevent dispensing at night when you remove your toothbrush. Maybe that is getting too fussy.

Totally stupid and unnecessarily complicated... dear, oh dear. It's a wonder you don't have the pills bouncing up from a small trampoline into your open mouth! (but of course have this bun to rot out your remaining molars) [+] |

Why have the pills be dispensed into a tray? The toothbrush could carry them into the mouth. |

But if you eat the toothpaste you might hurl. True! |

Bun, but the typical geriatric patient who would be more prone to forgetting and who is on a cocktail of meds might also have dentures. Do you have to brush dentures or just pop them in a glass next to your bed?
Maybe a pillbox-denture-cleaner combo for the edentulous? |

My only fear is the proximity to water. I wonder if
they might get splashed or wet by accident.
Otherwise a sound idea. (Maybe encase all the pills in
aluminum foil first? eewww). |
