More than 10.5 million American women take birth control or “the Pill.” It is the number one choice for contraception, but unfortunately, only half of all Pill users take birth control perfectly. If everyone in America on the Pill took it perfectly, women would save $760 million in out-of-pocket healthcare costs on pregnancy tests, Plan B and co-payments. There would also be 770,000 fewer unintended pregnancies and 270,000 fewer abortions a year.

To tackle this problem a young OB-GYN doc, herself a fan of the Pill, has come up with a hi-tech solution that helps to make sure that every day’s regimen is being followed. So the Oviary has been born, and is currently raising funds through Kickstarter.

If everyone in America on the Pill took it perfectly, women would save $760 million in out-of-pocket healthcare costs.The device is an electronic box, loaded with the pills’ blister pack and paired with a smartphone running a companion app. Every time the device is opened, it communicates with the app to record that day’s successful administration. However, if the Oviary is ignored, the app reminds the user to take the pill. There’s also a display on the top of the box with lights indicating how much time is left to take that day’s dose on time.

Oviary connects to the home WiFi network and during setup, it requires the user’s phone number. When the timing of when the pill needs to be taken is about to expire, the device will send a reminder text message, followed by another after the expiration time if the pill is still ignored. This final reminder will also include notes on how to stay protected since the pill has not been ingested.

The team behind Oviary is looking to raise $50,000 with single unit going for $49 (early bird). Check it out.
