Pilleye

Introduction

At pharmacy, not all medications are blistered packed (i.e., they come in loose in a bottle). Hence, to prepare a certain quantity of tablets for a patient, we often manually count it, which is very tedious.

• A pill counting tray (using a plastic dish and spatula) is a sanitary way to handle and count pills.
• Nonetheless, pill counting errors can still happen because of distractions, exhaustion and being hurried. At worst, it may affect patient medication adherence.

Potential Solution

For resource-limited health facilities (without automatic pill counter), Pilleye is a FREE mobile application that can eliminate miscounting.

• This mobile application helps you to count medicine in a photo in the blink of an eye, regardless of the shape or size of the tablets or capsules.
• If there is any pill overlooked by Pilleye, it can be manually added to the count with a tap.

Summary

Pilleye is an extremely helpful tool for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who need to count a large number of pills.

• However, the mobile application seems to require an internet connection to start up.
