Welcome back to What to Expect When You’re Connecting, the Soracom podcast where we speak with the people responsible for building and deploying IoT and their experiences. This includes the ins and outs of connected technology and how these devices are shaping the world at large. I’m your host, Ryan Carlson, and in our third season, we hope to expand our mission statement beyond being a podcast for the IoT curious and instead provide a voice for the industry as a whole. That means exploring new solutions, new technologies, and new ideas – something we’d love to talk about!

In This Episode – Integrating the Soracom LTE-M Button to Track Medication Use
Modern healthcare solutions can sometimes involve a great deal of complexity. With the plethora of sensors and smart devices on the market, the opportunities to create nuanced and ornate systems for monitoring patients’ well-being are myriad. Yet, while these involved systems can generate a lot of useful and actionable intel, the best solution to any given issue is often the simplest one.
In this episode, we speak with Nagesh Kadaba, the founder of a medication adherence solution called Rx Keeper. When evaluating technological components for his device, Kadaba and his team found the simplicity of the Soracom LTE-M button inspiring, as it allowed them to create a reliable mechanism from what is essentially a blank slate device.
Throughout this conversation, we discuss the origins of Rx Keeper and the challenges faced in creating a simple yet effective solution for medication adherence.
