💡We're excited to unveil the 8th surprise in our 10th-anniversary celebration!!  We're excited to announce that we've recently internally revamped PI's website! Our goal was to make it easier than ever for users to find the solutions they need. With our new streamlined searching options, navigating the platform is now incredibly intuitive. Simply select one of the six main categories that best describes your area of interest, and then use the search function within that category to quickly locate the precise information or solution you're looking for. Finding the right solutions has never been simpler! 🔎 Ready to give it a try? Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gGsai9u

🚨PATIENT INNOVATION EllieGrid is a smart pill organizer developed in the U.S. that simplifies medication management, helping users stay on track with their medication schedules. Since its launch in 2016, Ellie has become a reliable tool for people who need to manage multiple medications daily. The system lets users organize their pills by type, not by time, so refills are simple and flexible. This approach allows users to quickly refill the compartments without worrying about specific times for each pill, ensuring medications are always organized properly. Once set up, Ellie sends friendly reminders with fun trivia and riddles when it's time to take medication. The pill box features a light system that illuminates to guide users to the right pill compartment, ensuring they take the correct pills in the right amounts.

🚨NEW PATIENT INNOVATION Bulsai, Inc is a device that addresses a critical challenge faced by millions of diabetics: identifying healthy tissue for insulin injections to improve absorption and prevent complications like lipohypertrophy (LH). LH occurs when repeated injections in the same area lead to scar tissue, cysts, and fatty deposits, which block insulin absorption and cause blood sugar fluctuations. Using proprietary scanning technology, Bulsai helps users locate optimal injection sites. Handheld and portable, Bulsai is designed for simplicity. A red/green light system guides users to the best injection locations. Learn more about the solution here: https://lnkd.in/dqNdK3tJ
