Abstract (en)
A mnemonic device provides a user with a container (2) in which is a tablet tray (4) to store tablets that they need to take during the day and timing means for setting alarms that can trigger audio (49), visual (48) and/or vibratory alarm alerts to remind the user to take their tablets at the correct times during the day. A rechargeable battery (17) provides the power for the timing means and alarms (49, 48). Controls (28, 26) set the volume and tone of the audio alarm (49). A key switch (64) seals the container (2) and senses when it is opened. Opening the container (2) deactivates any activated alarm (49, 48) and resets the alarms (49, 48). To preserve power of the battery (17), the alarms (49, 48) are also deactivated if the container (2) is not opened within a set time period of activation of an alarm alert (49, 48). <IMAGE>
