How it works

Set it once. Forget about it. Let the cap pay attention.

RingoRx works in the background of everyday life — from rest, to handling, to dose, to insight.

  1. 01

    Assign medication

    Pair the cap to a single prescription in the RingoRx app — name, dose, and schedule.

  2. 02

    Attach RingoRx

    Slip the cap over the bottle's existing pharmacy cap. Fits ~90% of standard Rx bottles.

  3. 03

    Track activity

    The cap quietly monitors openings, pickups, and replacements. No buttons. No check-ins.

  4. 04

    Stay informed

    Reminders, missed-dose alerts, and adherence history flow to the patient and their caregivers.

How RingoRx works in five steps: 1) at rest, the cap monitors sensors and waits; 2) picked up or moved, the IMU detects movement; 3) opened, twist/removal detected and the event recorded; 4) replaced, sensors confirm closure; 5) data synced, the event is sent to the app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Always on the bottle — from at-rest to dose to synced, in five steps.
The big idea

This cap belongs to this medication.

Most "smart" pill systems try to track everything at once and end up tracking nothing well. RingoRx flips it: each cap is permanently bonded to a single prescription, so the intelligence is medication-specific by design.

  • Persistent medication identity
  • Per-medication schedule and rules
  • Color-coded by prescription
  • No mix-ups, no manual re-pairing
  • Adherence history that actually means something

Features

Built like a medical device. Designed like something you'd want on the counter.

Smart adherence tracking

Every open, close, pickup, and replacement is time-stamped and synced — so adherence stops being a guess.

Pickup & open detection

A 6-axis IMU and Hall sensor work together to tell the difference between handling the bottle and actually taking a dose.

Caregiver notifications

Family and care teams get gentle alerts the moment a dose is missed — without nagging the patient.

Medication-specific pairing

Each cap is permanently bonded to one medication profile. No mix-ups, no manual logging, no confusion.

Pick your color

Eight cap colors — black, blue, teal, green, purple, pink, orange, white. Tell Harper's prednisone apart from Mom's blood pressure med at a glance. The color shows up everywhere — the bottle, the app, the notifications.

See the pill before you take it

Every notification shows a photo of the pill you should be taking. Sourced from the NIH's public pharmaceutical database (or your own photo for pet meds). If caps ever get swapped between bottles, the image catches it — before the wrong pill goes in the wrong mouth.

Knows the difference

A bottle falling over isn't a dose. A bottle bouncing around in your purse isn't a tamper. The cap looks at what happens before AND after each movement — not just the movement itself — so you don't get false alarms when life happens.

Teach a Dose™

Show the cap what taking your medication looks like. Record a few real openings, label them, and RingoRx builds a motion model tuned to how YOU take your dose — so detection gets smarter and more personal over time.

Dose Watcher™

The cap watches its own movement and infers a dose the moment it happens — using the model it learned from you. No buttons required: pick up the bottle, take your medication, and the cap already knows.

Tap the Cap™

Confirm a dose with a single tap. The screen wakes the instant you touch it and sends Took or Skip straight to your record — then goes right back to sleep to save battery.

Works without Wi-Fi

Lost the network for an hour? A day? A trip? The cap saves every event locally and uploads everything the moment it reconnects — in the right order, with the right timestamps. No silent gaps in the record.

Take it anywhere

Visiting family, traveling, moving rooms? Shake one bottle to set up the new Wi-Fi — and every other RingoRx bottle in the room joins automatically. One gesture, one network, every cap online. No app required, no flashing, no settings menu.

Secure cloud sync

AES-256 encrypted data syncs over Wi-Fi or BLE. Built on consumer-wellness rails, ready for clinical-grade later.

Tamper detection

Any open outside the prescribed schedule is flagged in real time. Caregivers know immediately if a controlled medication is being accessed by someone who shouldn't.

The LED ring is the language.

A glance tells you everything. No app required for the basics.
