The Pharmacy of the Future Is Ready For Your Bathroom Counter
 

All the kitchens had one thing in common: a mess of orange pill bottles scattered on a counter, sticky notes or spreadsheets posted nearby to track when to take each little pill. TJ Parker saw the same scene everywhere as a teenager delivering medication to his father’s pharmacy clients in small-town New Hampshire. In each house, he was struck by how these people—suffering from very different maladies—shared the stress and difficulty of managing their drugs. One woman couldn’t read the text on her pill bottles, so Parker would write the first letter of each medication in sharpie on the caps. It wasn’t much, but it was all he could do to help her take the right pill at the right time.
