Suggestions for Future Use	Illustrative Quote	n (of 38)
Daily log Participants wanted access to an online or app-based daily medication log that they could check themselves as often as they wanted.	“It might also be beneficial if you could go online and, say you forget, gosh did I take my medication? When did I skip it, or when did I take it, kind of a thing? And if you could go online and get that data on a daily basis from the Wisepill that would be pretty handy.”	10
Reminders Participants wanted a reminder (e.g., alarm, blinking light, text message) from the Wisepill to remind them to take their medication.	“If there was some mechanism that would say you haven’t taken your pill within twenty-four hours…It would just be more of some type of reminder that yes, you have taken your pill or no you haven’t.”	9
Pillbox divider Participants wished that the Wisepill had a weekly divider with the days of the week separated to help them keep track of their medications.	“I think sometimes for people taking prescriptions, that it is helpful to have almost a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday type container because at least for me, it’s easy to forget once I’ve gotten up in the morning to get involved with something and then forget whether or not I’ve taken my medication.”	11
